    It's a Suzuki. A K6 gsxr1000
    1 owner from new, yoshi can that I will prob change, yoshi rear sets, seat cowl, r&g crash bungs, pazzo levers, braided lines front and rear, renthal sprockets, screen, some carbon bits that aren't fitted and all the standard bits and pieces. And a decent alarm.
    Well looked after but has got the usual stone chips on.

    Here's one pic before I put it the garage.

    I'll go and hide in the bushes now so no one can find me and beat me up :)

    Looks good mate, although not keen on that exhaust to be honest it's very different but don't think it's a good different IMO

    Lovely bike mate and of all the gixxers the K5-K6 are meant to be the best and lightest of them all.

    Totally stonking engine!! Great if you like wheelies.... Will be a cult classic and only go up in value. Love the colour too.

    My only comment would be is GET a set up done on the suspension, front won't feel as planted as the blade (my pals didn't anyway) but he had it set up for him and it transformed it!

    Thought you'd end up with one tbh... When you posted about what to get, seemed the best bike for your £. Good work mate.

    And ps - Martin, we are still allowed on if we have blade track bikes lol ;)

    The fell I bought it off had the suspension all sorted so I'm hoping the set up that's on it will be good.
    Its also been dynoed and set and is showing 160bhp with the can and bmc filters

    To be honest I PM'd him and told him to buy it as they are great bikes and for not alot of cash. Don't tell anyone I did that though lol

    I'm guessing by your tag though mate he prob wasn't the same size as you? Makes a big diff mate and best £70 ish quid you can spend on a bike IMO.

    Either way. Sure you'll love the new machine!! :)

    I know mate, always get the suspension set for me on my bikes, just being hopeful it may be ok to start with. I very much doubt it but you never know lol

    Agreed, but i would lose some of the stickers and go for the more 'stealthy' look
