Lads getting a lil tired of the bandit 6 :rolleyes:

been looking into getting a more sportier bike.. has to be around the 600cc mark.. theres a lovely gsxr k6 600 factory restricted for sale thou i dunno would my height kill me..

looking into

1. sv650s 05-07 (seems like a good bike for a taller rider)
2. GSXR600 K6 (am i dreaming?)
3. CBR600rr 05 ish..

any thoughts?

I'm 6ft 4 myself and found any of the 600 or 1k machines are tiny.

The only sports bike I'm comfy on is the ZZR range.

you will get bored of the sv easily if your coming from a bandit. Bandit is far superior.

Go for a gixxer and get adjustable rearsets. Or go with lanky up there and try a zzr

How could anyone get sick of a bandit. I'd love another one. Keep the gixxer aswell of course though lol.


dunno how much of a difference the rearsets would be to be honest, bound to help a bit anyways.

thought the sv was quite small myself

best bet, imo is try and sit on a couple... sportsbikes, unfort have just gotten smaller as the years go by, might have to go back in the years a bit to find a fitting one

vfr800 might be a option - shouldnt be any more expensive to insure then the cbr/gixxer (prolly cheaper)

why don't you just do a Hightower job and sit on the back seat?

if yer from around waterford at all your more than welcome to take my gixxer 1000 for a few days. Would love a bandit

swap you for my super4 seany, but you'd want to be careful it's a bit of a beast

Think you're being a bit generous with the distance
