What bike did he have a broken rad on?

I am favourable to them, but not biased, just see them in the real world. They are just bikes gthat need riding to see how well they are designed for british roads, and our typical riding, overtaking etc.

all i will say is the vfr750 was the best bike i have ever owned i would have another

and the nicest has to be a brand new k1200r

We have a demo ZX6 at work. I PDI'd it which ment I got to test ride it. Loved it. Handles very well and is suprisingly comfy. And it looks sweet in black 8)

If you mean Daytona 600, then that's what I've got and they're the muts nuts. Done over 8000 miles on mine now. Very comfy and now I've got Pilot Powers on it it handles like a dream. Lots of space under the seat (can fit 2 disc locks and packed luch with room to spare) and you don't see many about. Have put some trick bits on aswell. See hear

i should say a honda especially as i have a cbr6, great build quality and ultra reliable but as its up for sale i'd say a kaxasaki zx10r would get my vote but only the 04/05 model i dont like the new ones,dont know why theres just something ugly about them. if you want a zx6 in orange pay a visit to pgh in torbay as they have a demo bike with colour coded wheels and a few r&g bits on that looks nice very nice indeed

if your after a used bike i can highly recommend the 03 cbr600rr in red and grey, yours for only £3850

,, sorry would have to be an 05 i think cant remember,,
2005 cbr600rr the year they gave it usd's,,
black with the trible graphics..

mike the daytona does look sweet,
i recomend flush mount front indis next mate.. if poss.
the only thing swaying me away from similar daytona to yours is the lack of usd's,
mainly a looks thing!
before u say it i know they handle well. its a shame that triumph have only just really found usd's...
apart from the old nakeds...

i do like the old british flag on the fairing of daytonas..
yellow ones!!
thanks to all the above for help deciding,
still totally unsure as to what i should get>>
i think an 07 bike is a dream.
05 06 a financal choice,,
i got my quote down for a 675 to 777 squid but still a bit high for my poo job! with every other cost in life included, or those you can predict..with a weekly payment of 50 bucks for bike would be strugling.. :cry:

so a 05 06 it is...
looking more at the cbr600rr on those plates...
not ruled out the triumph yet tho... :P

a good choice and 1 you wont be disapointed in, if you have any cash left i will have for sale in the very near future a set of gilles rearsets and a akrapovic can off my 03, both 6 months old and in good condition.
