Insurance on K6 Suzuki GSXR600 is cheaper than RR
Artdeans in Swindon can supply bike for 6449
George Whites can supply bike with Data tool alarm for 6749.

Gonna call George Whites now and say will they price match coz technically i've got an alarm system with my insurance company.

What would u do??

GSXR or RR??

Bearing in mind RR will be due a revamp next year...gsxr not until 2008.
Suzuki has a higher depreciation value...

What would u do???

To me the GSXR is just a better bike all round. The CBR does have the "old man" image associated with it, but then the Gixers do have a "hooligan" element associated with them.

However, the induction sound Gixers make is absolutely awesome, hook them up with a Yoshi or similar exhaust can and they sound great.

The GSXR build quality these days is a lot better than it used to be I believe and OK Honda still might be the best, but in the time I've owned both of my Gixers they have not missed a bit (bloody alarm did cause me one problem though! Grrr!).

If I were to get a Honda, then I think the only one I would go for would be the Blade.

As for depreciation on the bikes, hey, biking is just expensive full stop so don't think about things like that! Just get on the bike and enjoy it!

I quite like the GSXR. I'd test ride one first, if I were you before you make the choice.

The thing thats in my head at the moment is how long it took you to decide to get your Turinis for your 106. :D
