Default Re: took a cbr out yesterday

right i'll leave it thanks guys im just a bit crap with these things and need to bounce ideas off someone you see i'll keep on looking. Think i need to look at something else as well. It was a fab bike but when i got home i said to our jars ' fast but it didnt excite. So i would end up killing myself. So any other ideas? Am old speed triple? Or am i buying a money sit?

Maybe you could look at GSXR's, perhaps a K1/K2?

Triumph street triples (striples) are ment to be really good

If you don't mind something thats maintinence intensive....how about an RGV250

But they're about 3x his price bracket ASH

You could pick up a speed triple or a crashed daytona for <£2k

i.ve got 2.5 to just under 3k max although i would prefer cheaper. There are plenty of cbr 600's but i was after one of the dual headlight ones if any. Although im now thinking of something else as there wasn't that spark with the bike although on paper it gives me everything i could ever want. I would also like something that could take a pillion so s6's are out in afraid. The pastor and sv1000 keep popping back up but they are few in my price range. Hmm think in going to have to give this some more thought

They sell insurance write-offs, what you expect?

Little bit overpriced considering but you pays your money and takes your chance.

Been saying it as lot recently but atm the RSV's are VERY cheap, you could even get an RSV-R for under £3000! Make sure you test ride them though, there seem to be a lot of idiot owners set them up all wrong... tsh. Also tuono if you like naked bikes.
