As for my current ride, I sold the Firestorm and bought an old K4 1000 which was a total flipping disaster, needed new rings, valve stem oil seals and a bunch of other things. Having dropped the engine out no fewer than four times I scrapped it and sold it for parts, and in so doing made more than I paid for it! Go figure... Also bought a 996S for an absolute steal (£2k), tidied it up and flogged it for £4500!
That allowed me to buy my latest squeeze, my seventh GSXR 1000 and my fifth K5/6
The club just keeps on growing
more like why didn't you keep the first one
