I have toyed with the idea of say, Italian exotica, but would only continuously worry about it being crashed or nicked.
I really do not see the need (yes need, not want, Jelster ) of something like a GSXR1000 in this day and age. Cue comments from disciples of Jeremy Clarkson and speed freaks everywhere.
Hey, I don't "need" a FireBlade, or a 250bhp car, but I can afford them and enjoy them. Each to their own. I would consider a smaller bike IF I could get the same reliability, torque and acceleration (top speed is pointless, I've done 170 plus once, don't need to do it again).
