Re: Crashed!
Quick update - got 1200 for the curvy, which was a cat b. Bought it back for 130 and a pal who builds custom quad bikes is having it for the engine, so it should live on.
Now get to choose a new one - want something significantly bigger and faster than an sv but on a budget of around 2k max. Image not an issue - would prefer sports tourer as they tend to be looked after better and thrashed/messed around with less. So thinking zx9r, Blackbird, Suzuki rf900, Firestorm, Ducati Sp 2, Thoughts?

Re: Crashed!
Or if you don't mind something a bit ugly....this is a lot of pretty good bike for the money.

Re: Crashed!
You could pick up a nice fazer thou in that price range. Best ever do everything bike there is. Bit like the SV with bikini fairing?

Cheers for the suggestions - should have said, VFR 800 also a possibility. Think the design has aged really well but thirsty and not that powerful really. Re the gsf 750 - I know I said image isn't an issue but there are limits! Just showed the Mrs a Blackbird and she said it looked like "a child's drawing of an alien from the 70s".

Re: Crashed!
VFR 800 have high service costs too if I remember !
Firestorms are very thirsty too and small tanks ! My mate was lucky if he got 90-100 miles out of his before refuelling ! Not the most attractive bikes but see if you can pick up a vstrom 1000 for that price ! |

Re: Crashed!
Just so you are all aware, if you need to claim off the MIB, each claim carries a £300.00 excess that will be deducted from any agreed settlement figure.
