More food for thought here...ive defo gotta scratch that itch while im young...yes i do 8) ,ive done a couple years on the 600 & it'll be nice to experience big power.
I have considered the gen 2 but they are a little outta my budget.....but not sure what peachy deals could be revealed if they are discontinued...i know theres some minters out there 2nd hand for 4k territory & thats allot o bike for 4k but its gonna be a while before i have 4k in cash for a private sale.....there was one on here in scotland kept getting bumped coz it wasnt selling & it was about 4k FFS!....ye a proper point & squirt weapon......ive seen slims go on part throttle & ive heard the likes of Stevierst talking about it's confidence giving properties on the twisties too & i like the sounds of that type of bike.
If the extra money wasnt the issue then i agree that the gen2 suits my needs more.......sports orientated...but can tour if required....sit up style with wide bars.....fuel injection so no issues with carbs/winter lay up etc...i dont do touring & ive got youth on my side so the little less comfort than gen 1 wouldnt be an issue.
Only thing is that im not overly enthralled by the arse end of the gen 2, or most modern style bikes....they all taper down too much at the back like some spindly anorexic dragon or something, what happened to the old school chunky rears :lol ..... :guitar :guitar :guitar [size=78%]" I like big buts & i cannot lie"[/size] :guitar :guitar :guitar .......why do they do this?...seriously is it for better handling or something???, i could forgive that if there was a purpose to it.........no offence gen 2 owners bythe way
[size=78%].apart from that it's a nice looking bike & im sure they are pretty reliable as i rarely see anything dodgy get posted about them on here.[/size]
[size=78%]I knew foc-u wouldnt dissapoint....ive gone from a 3k budget to a 4k budget in 1 foccin day he he!!!![/size] :b
