If I could have a bike for three grand it would have to be one of them tasty things with the four little exhaust pipes coming out from under the saddle whose name escapes me right now but normally retails around 14k...bargin!!

















Oh...that's not what you meant...hmm....

£3000... If I didn't have an SV, that'd be the answer. I'd buy that Falco that someone on here is trying to sell. Or I'd see if that'd buy a Duke 2. Or, some wreck to build a streetfighter out of, R6 maybe.
