In the description looks like it was £5700 so maybe they are discounting to get shot for winter?

I've been looking at bike prices, and you bought at a good time. Not so many deals around at the minute.

Was thinking similar....move it on quick. As they say, if you're gonna lose money best to lose it ASAP. :D

Shame they're not using the C-Evolution, maybe they couldn't find one?

Nothing wrong with that. I've got a deep rooted desire for a Ural.

I'm really struggling to find a sensibly priced 1100 to fiddle with over winter.

I like quirky stuff, so I could see me riding one as well, just not whilst I'm juggling a load of other bikes that seem to need a lot of attention.

I've always wanted one, when I had my 250's the big boys had GSXRs and it was something to aspire to.
But I actually don't think they're that good, they look awesome, especially the Hyper, but to ride? I think they're old and a bit dated, same as my ZXR750H1.

Having the room is the easy bit (I did actually buy a big custom made shed) but it's having the time.
If you've got a few bikes that need regular attention then it gets to be like a job.

I envy people that are happy with one modern bike that they just ride and clean.

I wouldn't mind an H (or even an L) ZXR, but the GSXR1100 is the one I really want, one of the oil cooled bikes.

I'm not really sure why, yeah it'll probably ride rubbish, but it will make up for my tiny cock.
