New bike
Hi All,
I've after a replacement for the SV, a big naked bike (urban sports whatever they're called now). Over the last few weeks I've tried several: Ducati Streetfighter Street Triple Speed Triple Aprilia Tuono (R & Factory) FZ1 Moto Guzzi 1100 Griso (a bit random) CB1000R I don't really read bike mags so I'm not particulary well informed. Can anyone suggest other alternatives that might be worth considering? Here's what I thought of each of these bikes if that helps; http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=137986 |

Re: New bike
You don't say if you are buying new?
Don't like plastic bikes either but not a fan at all of litre il4 jap nakeds , but if you must , Kawasaki Z1000? You tried big retros like GSX1400/XJR12&1300/ZRX11&1200R/CB1300? Ducati Monster1100 KTM Superduke Buell XB12's Guzzi 1200 Sport4v You have test ridden those you listed I would say you are more informed about making a choice than anybody else. Good job! |

Re: New bike
Get the Z750 over the Z1000 - not sure the Z1000 is worth the extra money.
