It would be strange going back to a 125 after having a big bike, zx6r's are nice bikes. I'm hoping to upgrade to a bandit 600 or a cb. Would love a gsxr 750 but i have to wait a few years haha

yeah very lacking in power lol but good on fuel, moved away from london so sort of pointless now, looking at the zx6r to convert to a stunt bike for a bit fun

 

i'd personally go for the bandit over the cb, lots of tuning parts out there for the bandit so doubt you'd ever get bored with it :-)

Ive had two bandit 400s an import twin disc and a uk single good little bikes a set of straight bars and an exhaust and they look pretty tidy hoping my next one is an r1 or gsxr1000 if I can twist the bosses arm lol gutted I sold my triumph 995 but the mini needed the money lol
