$12K for the blade? lol. I bet they were deceived by that odo error.

I would eliminate 3rd option, as it really isn't much bargain. The 07 Gix1k could be hot, as it's going to be revised, you can see the extra feature, like three different mappings for road condition. Plus you'll have the pleasure of possibly seeing your bike rated #1 in all the mags if the 07 R1 doesn't interfere.

But for the whole package, the 750 sounds the best, as you'll get more out of it, better handling, less highside or spin up moments. And only one exhaust. And price seems far cheaper, it would be far more sound to convince the missus that you're only going to be spending $2.5K for the trade up.

I'd go for the '06 GSXR750 too. Price looks right.

hmmm misses seems to think that landscaping is more important. bugger.

i'm not sure the 06 is that good. looks massive compared to the 07. looks so dated. wish they'd go back to keeping the styling for longer instead of changing the look so much they date so quick

Blayne, I like this though:



It's pimp in race bike sort of way, and the yoshi exhausts make it look it nice. Now I'd definitely consider getting the 07.

noice.
