I'm still looking for a GSXR 750, and they all seem to be a billion miles away up north! Why are there none down south? frown

EVERY 750 I have seen that ticks all the boxes are in Leeds, North Yorkshire and bloody Manchester. I'm gonna start looking for a cheap zx6R soon and hack around on that for a few thrills :/

Rant over.

What sort are you looking for? you haven't been very specific!

Hertfordshire Superbikes have one that I saw the other day - looks pretty clean

Between £3-4k. K4-7. In the blue/white colour scheme. Less than 20k miles.

Looks like that's that then. Been looking for 6 weeks and getting a bit jaded.

They can afford them, they just don't have the stones to ride them.

Quite the opposite. Our stones are more than adequate. We don't need excess cc's to compensate.

Leeds, Yorkshire and Manchester aren't exactly "oop north"; you're not even half way up the UK yet...

This is funny because we were thinking that when we picked up my brothers 750 they were all up north and in wales.

My brother got his hands on a 2009 model for 5k and it only had 3k on with FSH and the original tyres, which were fit for the bin. Its a great bike and perfect for the road or track. Its worth travelling for the right bike.

I am looking to get one as a track bike. Great bike.

Here's an idea.

Go up north and get one?
Make a weekend of it, try and find 5 or 6 close together or even on the way.

Worst case you wasted a weekend, how many have you wasted getting pissed or watching st telly?
Best case you post on this thread with a new shiny and stop whinging biggrin
