Dilemma

[SDM]

Today I had a test ride on the GSXR1000 K7 and what a tool it was.

Handling was superb, slipper clutch great and a comfortable ride, couldn't find a fault with it, apart from the twin exhausts.

Now do I spend my hard earned cash on this amazing bit of kit

OR...........................

Do I do the K4 up

Ohlins Rear Shock, Ohlins Front Springs, Power Commander, Gold Wheels, Gilles Rear Sets, Pazzo Levers and other bits and bobs.

[Mi5ter E]

K7 m8 because you already have a K4 you know what its like you said yourself you'd like a change,you will get used to the twin exhausts and even if you was to spend the Cash on the K4 would it be as good as the K7 is?

[SDM]

Or I could forget that idea and get a new car..................

[Mi5ter E]

dont do it
whay whats wrong with the galaxy then

[Mi5ter E]

who was the mysterious do up the K4 clicker hmmm

[SDM]

[Lateshift]

If i was you Kev i would sit on the fence for a few months yet at least, the problems havent all been ironed out on the K7 yet ;)

[Lateshift]

err hello this is pot calling kettle, pot calling kettle :D

[Mi5ter E]

[rembrandt]

[Mi5ter E]

someones always gotta confuse matters a lol

[STEALTH52]

Dont worry about the twin exhausts you can always change them to a single system theres a few companies that do them already, or you could buy the k6 thou which is a better bike anyway! :grin2

I'm with lateshift here, been hearing one too many complaints about brand new Suzukis. I'd wait until things like, oh I dunno, crap gearboxes are sorted!

I wouldnt go near a new zuki at the mo'.

Much better bikes out there, maybe not as easy to ride, but better. Just open your mind to new possibilities Kev. :)

[harriebird]

phil was looking at a new Z1000 and didnt like the exhausts, the lovely wayne in the shop (and of whane the instructor fame!) told him well dont worry about them you cant see them when you're riding the bike :grin2

i agree the twin rocket launchers look hideous :shooter and would put me off for sure. i would need to ride one to make sure it was better to ride than to look at!

i will be selling my K6 but it wont be shiny enough for you i dont think :grin2

if you love your K4 then just keep that.

[auroredj]

I have a better idea, spend the money in your new house...................:love1:love1:love1 that will keep the missus happy for a while :laugh1:grin2:laugh1

[Lateshift]

looking good, you need some nice levers for it now and some fangled wavy disks :) :)

hmmm a nice gold sprocket would look pretty flash too ;)

[SDM]

Levers................that'll be next.

I've looked at CRG levers, any thought's on these anyone?

Gold sprocket hmmm, I'll do that when its time to change the old one.

[Lateshift]

you could have a look at the Pazzo ones, just as good as the CRG ones in my opinion :)

[stu600cc]
