Anyone into Jetskis/Jetbikes whatever you wanna call them these days?
Ive always fancied one and I rented one for a bit on holiday and it just made me want one even more.
I was looking at this one
http://www.yamaha-motor.co.uk/products/waverunners/entry/vx_sport_06.jsp
Theres a place near me that does it for £6k brand new including trailer and warranty etc......
I personally think thats a bargain, I know its entry level but I think it should be quick enough for me.
Any thoughts?

We have a Kawasaki jet ski, think its a 700cc 3 seater jobbie. Think we paid about £5k for it a couple of years ago with trailer and everything. Had only done a few hours when we got it, we dont really use it but its good fun when we do. We only got a reasonably cheap one to start with to make sure we enjoy it, hopefully my dad will look into getting a quicker one again soon.
Its definatly worth it though, we take ours to a local lake which is'nt very big. But we took it down to Poole on holiday with us a couple of years ago and it was amazing fun out on the sea with it.

hmmmm jet skiers piss me off tbh, I used to surf a few years back and will never forget watching them trying to run seals over for a laugh.
They think they own the fucking sea as well, any chump can get on a jet ski and twist and go, trying getting on a board and harnessing the power of a wave
