Mad or not ? ( Continued )
 
Looking to go see my local Suzuki dealer to p/ex the 998 for a Gsxr1000 , at the mo its just to see how the figures will stack uo & to get a better look at the bike

Have been dreaming of a 998/6R
But have gone of the idea of 6R really want an 8R but to much money for me this year !
Thinking of going down the jap route this year then getting an 8R next year ,that way i have had my jap ich covered & then the R next year

And yes i know getting the Gsx then taking a hit when selling will prob ad up to a 998R this year but am curious about the jap litre bikes

Any one want to talk me out of this or give some logical solution to my problem :(:frog:

is there that much difference between the 6 and 8R ?
surely they both go like stink,
well so will the Suzuki but as you have said it wont be worth naff all next year.
be patient and get one second hand if you must go down that road, perhaps a test ride will stem your urge

Not much chance of getting a test ride on the GSXR over here the other litre bike maybe :(

Go find out about the Gixxer - get to ride one - its very focussed - very fast - very capable - but it aint a Ducati.

Try it and see - you'll be very impressed. As for getting a R next year, you might find that in a year's time the 996Rs and 998Rs will be more expensive!!

If you've got the Jap litre itch - go scratch - I did - you will be back though!!

Enjoy.
