next bike ?

ok so next year my 33bhp restriction comes off but im going to start saving this year, so may as well ask now what would be a good bike to get after the sv?

im not totaly into the sports bike style but want somthing that can keep up with one and im not realy wanting a revvy 600, have riden a r6 and hated the way you had to wring its neck.

im quite a competent rider and generaly speeking know how to handle my bike on the road (despite my age i have riden various things for about 4-5 years not on the road thogh), and this year and next (till april) will be doing some track days, and my advanced test later on this year

im thinking i will have about £3000 inc the sale of my sv to play around with

my criteriors are

good power delivery not to revvy
good handling
reliable
£3000 or under
beefy looking

so any sugestions on what to get and what not to get ?

i quite like the zx9r 2002 but is it to much bike ?

Whats wrong with keeping the sv pal... just take the 33 off it??

need i say more?

i see.


Dave...

plus if i was to keep the sv then i would have to do the front end and im not sure its worth the cost on a bike that cost me £1800 in the first place

954 Blade, last of the ones before they went with the underseat exhaust

K4 / K5 GSXR 750, handling of the 600 but less revvy engine nature.

Might both be slightly out of your budget a little though.

Are they to much bike ? depends if you have some self restraint and treat the throttle with respect then no...

.

thats what im going for, a K7 if i can afford it.

tbh i dont think ur an idiot, i can relate to the urge of what ur doing, just cant risk the licence part.

anyway, what about an old zx7r or 9r i hear they are pretty special and cheap, falcos are also cheap as is the SV1000 and they are all supposed to be good value for money bikes.

Just stick with the SV...

It wont need a gsxr front end, cheaper way do the springs and oil, my suspension doesnt even need doing its great as it is + it will keep up with sports bikes with full power either that or try a litre twin, SVthou, VTRthou etc etc
