mate of mines selling his for 11grand. it's got about 12K on the clock. nice bike. It's too much bike for me to handle at this staget though.
I really don't understand the phobia people have of litre sports bikes. I mean, yeah their powerful... but it's not like it'll randomly snap the throttle open and pop a mono without you having some input. I say they're a misunderstood gentle giant. Seriously, go take one for a spin and after the 'OMG-POWAAAH' wears off you'll realise it's just like riding any other bike. Life insurance, smife infurance...

I jumped on an '91 FZR600 yesterday. A mate's looking at buying a bike, and I thought while we're here, i might as well take it for a spin. I am considering getting a 600 as a track day bike, so it wasn't like i was just tyre bashing <!-- s:angel: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_angel.gif" alt=":angel:" title="Angel" /><!-- s:angel: --> Was a pretty stupid thing to do, in hindsight. Unregistered bike, unlicenced rider (well, for a 600), on a double demerit weekend.... doing 240km/h <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> Was pretty surprised at how quickly it got there, for an older bike. It also handled pretty well. at 240km/h it felt very similar to my little fizzer when it's struggling at 160km/h. anyway, point is the 600 had plenty of up and go. Took away like a bullet, and was pretty nimble. I don't think i NEED more power than that, and I'd be happy to do without the extra weight that you get from a litre bike. The 600 was also quite comfortable for my 6'3" frame.
