Default 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

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!

Get the Z750 over the Z1000 - not sure the Z1000 is worth the extra money.
