What have you done, won the lottery?
Done the missus in buried her under the patio and claimed the insurance?
I've bought lottery tickets before and never won a thing,
however the patio is looking rather tired...................

Very nice indeed Alan-the gixxer looks nice with the new pipe-that collector is terrible on the original exhaust.

You really getting the Aprillia too then? Ace 8) Not jelous at all...:lol:

Glad to see your on the mend :thumbup:

Bloody lovely looking bikes mind, dont get me wrong.
Tim...... You couldnt be more wrong, the Gixxer 6 is a free revving inline 4 where as the Prilla is a V4. They are chalk and cheese. Have you ridden a VFR? Imagine a Viffer with all power and torque figures multiplied by 2 and the weight of a can of beans.

The Yoshi on the 6 looks sweet Al.

Alan, the mods on the Gixxer 600 look much better. And what's this, an RSV V4 in only 6 weeks time :?:

Good to see you smiling again :thumbup:

Do keep us posted on both bikes,

Chris.

I know what you mean Jim, but i meant they are both full on sports, not like a tourer and a sports, totally opposite bikes. The engines are obviously goign to be very different, but similar roles for the bike.
Ah sorry mate I see what you were getting at.

no havn't won the lottery i dont gamble :) , John agree about the standard cat looks ugly but the standard exhaust sounded nice, really deep tone, at first i thought i had wasted my money on the yoshi but its a really nice bit of kit and very loud but its road legal. :wtf:

Timbo i dont do tourers m8 there just not my cup of tea maybe when im older :wink2 plus i dont do high mileage.

sorry to wind you lot up but the rsv4 is not 100% yet im still unsure as im interested in the new r1 and the rc8r just need to test ride the r1 as ive tested the others, before i make my mind up.

+1! Still not convinced why you would buy a Gixer 6 and an RSV4???? Can you elaborate?

Fair one mate, having to make do with one bike all year round is a real drag :wink:

Don't get the R1, not special enough. That RSV4 will make you fall in love with riding again, i test rode one and they are truly epic, especially the noise!
