Only an ex I'm afraid. Last proper bike was a ZZR1100, currently got a Gilera Runner 180 that's stashed in the garage cause it failed the MOT and I'm not prepared to pay £160 for a new exhaust.

Is your Runner the 2T or 4T?

Hello,
Just read your post, I am currently looking to buy a R6 to trackday on, ( x-mas present to myself )not had a bike for 5yrs ( had a gsx-r 750 wp old style ! ) would you opt for the yamaha ? i am not a big guy and only want a 600/750cc rice burner ! The cbr600 is still going strong though eh ? thats an option.

Do you track day ?

It's a 2 stroke and goes like stink up to 50mph (tops out at about 70). Wanna buy it - I need the space in the garage.

Had a CBR600 before the ZZR and I think it was a better bike than the Kawasaki. The honda is a perfectly sorted bike - I'm not up on the specs of the latest models but if they're comparable, consider a Honda. The build quality and all round sorted-ness is fantastic.
 
Got a 600 bandit which is ok but I went off Suzuki when I found they use slave labour in Burma to build their bikes. I wrote to their customer relations asking if it was true but I never got a reply so I assume it is.

Until last week I also had a Honda XR 400 which I enjoyed riding so much. Parked it in my drive for 2 nights and it got nicked! So peed off. I love that riding position, even on the road. Thinking of swapping the Bandit for an Africa Twin or something similar.
