Default Wanted - 2k ish sports bike

Got about 2 grand to spend on a bike. Looking for something in good mechanical condition, not to worried about age/mileage as long as it's been looked after.

Would prefer fuel injection as carbs scare me.

Will spend most of it's life on a track so not worried if it's a bit tatty looking as long as it's not going to break down. It does however need to be road legal with an MOT as I don't have a van or trailer.

Don't mind travelling for the right bike but preferably within 2 hours of Warwick.

I know this is an SV site but I don't want an SV650 may consider a 1000 but I have already had a 650 and didn't like it.

So sell me your bike!

Thanks mate, the first one isn't road legal I don't think.

The second is exactly the sort of thing I am after but it's overpriced and too far away.

Would prefer a bike with lights as I will ride it on the road, just want something I can track without being to worried about trashing and crashing it.

Your bike looks nice. Wanna sell?

Err nop. I managed to get mine at a bargain price partly because of the time of year, but also because the dealer fluffed up with the mileage - it was listed as 47,000 miles but they hadn't realised the clocks were in kmh.. Reset to mph it shows 28,000 and then because I'd bought a bike from them before they said they would keep it at £1899 for me, but if I didn't buy then it would be around £2500 = OOOOOOOOOOOSSHHH..

so you're leaning towards a sportsbike? and ideally something more powerful than an sv650?

Good bargaining skills that man!

Yes I want a sports bike, not too fussed about power, more interested in handling.

I have this if you are interested. 2001, 37 odd thousand miles Looking for around £1900. Will have standard bars fitted back on. It's MOT'd till end of March, I've just ordered a K&N air filter for it & just fitted a scottoiler. I'm after a TDM900 to slow me down a bit.
