hi, welcome to the site, glad you like it, you should be able to get a nice L model for £1200, L1-L4 maybe newer, check out the sales section and ebay.

at the moment im on the verge of a great deal myself an 07 CBR600 for 5 grand dont get much better than that. im well chuffed :smt003 :smt003 :smt003 :smt003

edit. apparently its faster than the GSXR's an R6's so that would be a bonus cos i thought it was slower but its revamped

just because its that little bit better than the others dont think you wont get completly killed on tack/road the diffrence bettween bikes is so small only the top riders will ever be able to get the most out of them to tell

:smt002 :smt003
