GIXXERUK 05-19-2003, 05:51 AM suzuki should give me a new bike just so the others go out and buy new ones http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
i find the prob with buying a newer bike is trying to work out how much you want to spend and balance that with the amount of time you can use it http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif (crap weather)
and the newer it is the less you want to use it in crappy weather
everyone on here must think (when its pissing down)...christ i've got 4 or 5 grand sitting in the garage but then the sun comes out and the mad grin
my mate bought a cbr 03 ,have all new bikes now got the lights always on feature (erm no switch)?
sorry to go on ..bored..outside its ,sun,rain,sun,rain all in about 5 mins http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

damnit 05-19-2003, 12:32 PM I take delivery of a spankin new Gixxer thou '03 this Friday (silver) ... but don't know anyone called Jones! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
Just have to tell the world about this though ... bin dreamin of such a top notch sportsbike since I was about 10 yrs old, and now its mine, miiiiinnnneeeeeaaaahh!!!!! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
As you may have guessed, I'm happy as larry, and have also had a mad -laugh this past couple of months road-testing loadsa sportsbikes in the 600 and thou market http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
To be honest though, I only test rode the Gixxer to prove to myself that it was NOT what I wanted http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/nono.gif, but after 10 minutes on board, there was no question whatsoever in my mind that this bike is from a completely different planet when compared to its nearest competition!
The power is so accessable (was a tiny bit scared of what I had read before stepping on board!), the handling is dilectable, and the stoppers STOP it with such feel ... leaving a ride that is sooooooo planted I could hardly believe in my own judgement afterwards! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
Double checked it with a guy who races an R7 and had been 'following' me around the dealers ... he had the same wide-eyed / besotted expression as me after riding the Gixxer ... that's when I knew it was true!! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/banana.gif
Anyway ... should be dropping by here occasionally, so hey to you all, and welcome to me http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/flipa.gif
PS GIXXERUK - Think the lights on all new roadbikes are hardwired to 'on' - this is due to new EU legislation http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/sleep.gif
PPS I guess I got carried away here huh ... sorry!
LooneyonaWT 05-19-2003, 03:25 PM I wish I had the money to keep up with the Jones'! http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
