Ten gone!

Well after much ducking and weaving through tire kickers ive finally sold the ten (albeit a little less than i wanted but hey).
So today i go to look at my next challenge... A GSXR 600
But Why i hear you ask, because im young and naive and want to go faster!

I suppose the older you get (and therefore the nearer the end) the longer you want to take

Good luck with the new bike, and stay alive !

Each to their own. I sold a zx7r to get my 660 and theres times when I wish I'd kept it. I still get speed urges from time to time but on the whole I'm glad I made the decision I did.

Good luck to you with your new purchase whatever it may be, enjoy it safely.

Each to there own really, i know i always wanted a sports bike when i was younger, then got a wee ZZR 250 (i know not the best idea of a sports bike) and when you get in that riding position all i wanted to do was race, everywhere was 100% throttle. Lived to tell the tale and then got into the more sit up and ride bikes.

I dunno, I would still have my Hayabusa (that I sold to buy the Ten) if I had room, and money.

Enjoy the GSXR WYBen.

quick update:

Gixer is mint, i wierdly prefer the riding style because on the ten i was always slouching wereas on the gsxr im forced into having a straight back wich helps.
and just so you all know, if i had the money i would have both the ten and gsxr.

anyway safe riding ppl.

To be fair Tom,,,, I think everyone on here could tell a similar story....

I'd have a garage with about 20 bikes in it !

One thing I have noTiced whilst having the ten is that traffic is getting slower and not just in areas of high volume.
Anyway, driftingggggg...

Off topic I know but, I thought it was just me that thought traffic seems to be dawdling
