4k to spend.

[Scottish_ninja]

Morning lads/lassies.

After an off last year, i've just convinced my fiance to let me get another bike (our funds are combined due to wedding saving).

I did have an A1P ZX6R and absolutely loved it, im 6'2 so the size of the bike suited me well.

To cut a long story short, at an absolute push, i have 4k to spend on a sports 600.

I was thinking about the B1H ZX6R (2005) as it seems to be the last model before the 600's seemed to shrink. Anyone have any experience of this bike?

I know the right thing to do is arrange test rides and try for myself, but a serious lack of time on my hands (working 6days) means my only free day is spent with the fiance.

Any recommendations or personal experiences are greatly appreciated.

Stephen.

Gsxr1000 k5 would be my choice.

absolutely every single time :-)

A mate of mine has a rizzla rep K5 with power commander, full exhaust and a few trick bits and its an absolute animal. Its also a pretty decent ride and the the torque is just outstanding.

Sadly the only problem for me is insurance. With only 2years (on the road) riding experience and only one years no claims, the quotes ive been getting have been well outwith my financial limit.

As much as i love trackdays (all 5 of them), im not sure i want to buy a bike so suited to the track, so maybe have to re-think the B1H choice and consider the C1H.

Any one else think that there seems to be a real lack of quality second hand stock around at the moment, when compared to this time last year?
