Default New bike suggestions?

so, I've been away for a while bike-less, but now I'm back & am after a new (to me) bike. requiremets:

- fast(ish)
- reliable (ie Honda)
- useable on road/track
- £3k budget

I would love an RC51/SP1/SP2, but I'm not going to get one of those for £3k. I was thinking of a late-model Firestorm & then bling it up with 'blade USD forks & the like

I like twins, but could be persuaded to an IL4 if required ...

suggestions please ...

Andy

One with two wheels and an MoT should see you reasonably quick!

Easy get a decent old Mille for that price!

You wouldn't go far wrong with a Triumph 955 Daytona. They go for peanuts & are pretty quick, handle well & sound awesome with a can on
