No the rsv is still for sale , I have had a bit of interest in the last few days but it's all been from London and as soon as I mention Sheffield there's silence and its like I'm from the other side of the moon.
All the dealers I spoke to about it wanted to insult me with there price's. It will sell I don't want the earth for it but I am not giving it away.
The Gsxr was priced right and I thought it was too good to pass up on. I am in decent position to buy the Gsxr with a loan from the "Bank Of Julie" and sell the rsv with out giving it away. I missed a K5 by a few hours the week before so just moved on this when I had the chance.
Anyone had any experience with a bazza unit ??? there's one up for sale second hand its the Traction control , fuel and quick shifter model

The RSV is a great bike and will sell as soon as the weather picks up and the season gets into full swing.
Pm Kingfixer about the bazza he had one on an Rsv4 and just bought one for his Blade track bike.

Nice wheels man. It's weird, I've only met you once but I get the feeling that this bike suits you.
Enjoy bro.

How longs a piece of sting I think anything around 150bhp it's not up with latest but in the real world I don't think it's that far away either. We will find out when it goes against blades green meany

Probably quicker in most situations as the gixer is well know to have a very strong mid range. The ten makes more at the very top above 10-11000 rpm but the gixer and the Blade have a good 20 bhp advantage over the ten in the midrange around 8000 rpm.

Tbh I think bhp figures are manufacturers bragging rights these days. Let's be honest 600's are bloody quick and if you look at performance times both acceleration and top speed in 1000cc group tests the differences are tiny regardless of any top end bhp advantage some of the modern bikes may have.

my rc8 has 150bhp and never felt under powered against il4 litre bikes at mallory but these latest 200bhp bikes must be something else to ride
I always wanted a gsxr thou they are iconic bikes
