Thinking of upgrading

[Nok12rs]

Good info - thanks

Either.

But I've spent the last week convincing myself I shouldn't! Maybe I'll use the offer on my next birthday

Defo strike while the iron is hot....

As for you getting the bike when your'e 40, a friend of mine at work who knows you from your school days says your'e already 40.....

Another thought I had was keep the existing GTR and buy a second hand ZZR 1400

TBH, yesterday I was at my local dealer. Had they matched the offer from Kawa Rochdale I would have ordered.

Today I'm in a different mood.

the insurance for a second bikes works out so good, normally £40-£50 per additional bike,

so go for it with that 14

If you do go for a ZZR make sure you get the upgraded engine, so an 08 onwards, not a blue or grey early model, but silver or black or green. The bottom end is sorted on the later engines and definately worth having.

There have been some unbelievable deals floating about.

2 I've seen this week.

VFR 1200 Auto £7995 NEW ...FFS!!Dobles in Croydon
ZX10 2011 NEW £7995 :huh:Daytona in Ruislip

Go figure how the buyers from last year feel who paid anything like RRP!

Dobles in Croydon are up to some hinky shit with the VFR's....like advertising 2011 models as 2012... there are no 2012 ones in the UK , they have sprayed up the 2011 models in 2012 colours, there is a big difference between the two.... the newer ones have traction control and a completly revised fuel mapping system to give better mpg... sumit a bit like our eco thingy that pops up on small fuel openings.
Old ZZR's good....... new ZZR's fookin dreadful... tis like riding a plank... a plank with no torque ...

Oh ! Perhaps you were thinking of me

Oh ! Perhaps you were thinking of me 

Always 

Been mulling a few choices

1. Buy a ZZR 1400 (and keep GTR)
2. Buy a 1000 SX  (and keep GTR)

3. Buy a old 636 for track days, with the remainder upgrade GTR to a second hand 2010 model

Decisions, decisions. Procrastination is one of my greatest skills

[viper]

nothing can quite match the warm feeling that 2 bike ownership brings.

im down to one bike at the mo ( my zzr1100 basket case in the garden does not count) and im missing the two bike feeling.

Really fancy a mint z1300

Option 1 ... The ZZR is growing on me ... I like the big black pipes ..much improved on those silver stick things from last year !
