Bit quick, aren't they?

I can confirm that they do, indeed, wheelie off the throttle in second.
Even with a fat bastard in the saddle.

Cheers Lozzo. That was fun. I don't really want one, but I'm glad IHAGM.

Thanks for the offer of a proper ride on the Bling-mobile, I'll probably

When they are talked about here, the bike's name is usually followed by
"YKIMS". That rules out anything Italian, anything 2-stroke, any sidecar
combination, anything BMW and anything that could be considered 'bling'.

*next* year? That's nearly a year away.

Mind you, they'll be dead cheap by then. Just before Christmas I
chatted to my local dealer about trading up to a ZX10R, and the best
he could offer me on the Gixxer was 4k.

You guessed then :-)

You'll be lucky to get that for yours no matter what the condition as it
has high mileage compared to others available. Was that with your bike
all repaired and decent, or with the bashed panels?

I've been offered new all black K4 Z models for 7100ukp, and normal
coloured K4s for 6400ukp. I am almost tempted to go into debt for a new
black/silver one at that sort of money.
