And what exactly is wrong with the 2002-03 954 models? Deemed by many (i.e. those like me who are too poor to afford the new ones!) as the best 'blade Honda ever produced...

You wouldn't go far wrong with the 1400, its an absolute peach. Go for those from 2008 onwards.
Pegs just done his first MOT, after new tyres and an oil change, it sailed through, not bad for a three year old with nigh on 30k, it racked up 27k in 2 years, but since being here its taken a slight break, as hes been using my bikes to keep them going whilst I was preggers.

As for the Busa......don't bother

He loves my VRaptor, as sometimes he misses having a nakid, the last one he had was a Z1000. But always goes back to the bus, as its the best all round bike evaaaaa

It's only deemed that way by those who can't afford a newer one. That's exactly what's wrong with it

The 675 is a triple and it doesn't fit me

I bought my first bike on Friday and today the engine kept dying when I pulled the clutch in. Did about 130miles yesterday and it was fine. Today it didn't like it. I think I bought the wrong bike.
