Don’t think I can resist

[Esceptico]

In 2017 I bought a new GSXR 750. Had wanted to try one for a long time and was worried Suzuki was going to stop making them. Really enjoyed the bike but unfortunately low-sided at Rockingham last year. It would have been uneconomic to repair so I sold it to a dealer.

In August I am moving to New Zealand. Although I have a job I don’t yet have anywhere to live and the list of things I need to do for the move is long. One of those is sorting myself out with a bike when I arrive. I have toyed with the idea of taking my K1300S Motorsport with me but I think the cost and hassle will be too much. That was just made more difficult because I have found a NZ Suzuki dealer with a new GSXR 750 (they are no longer sold there). Best of all it has a 25% discount equating to just under £8k (bikes in NZ seem similarly priced or a bit more expensive than here). Not sure I can resist!

Now just have to find a house to rent with a garage so I have somewhere to store it!

This was 13 years ago, but I remember all the main roads and the roads at the coast being tarmac and lovely, but we ended up on some smaller interior roads that were gravel. great fun In a rwd car like us, but not so much on a sports bike. Maybe buy an adventure bike too, it’s the perfect island for it

I am about to book a test ride on the new KTM 790 Adventure with that it mind.
