Well a Uk Spec R6 would be an Excellent Choice no doubt ... But i would recommend you ride a 1000cc bike before u make up ur mind .. Yes its Scary but always remember its man behind the machine .. it would only do what you want it to do ..
And yeah the Sound which a liter bike makes is just :P:P:P
Best of Luck for the sale and then for the next purchase ...
Also PM me the price of this bike, i know a few people who might be interested .. and yeah is it Reg??
