New bike ideas? - SV650.org

Hi guys sorry for another which bike next thread. But i think i have got my search down to 3bikes and just wanted your opinions and if you have owned or ridden any of them. Quick bit of background i commute a few miles everyday so need something reliable and then just got out for weekend blasts for fun and maybe throwing in a european tour this summer.
My choices are:
2003 zx9r
2004 gsxr 750
2001-2003 cbr 929 or 959

thanks

Best try them all out and see what you think is best. Personally i'd skip the 9R and go for an 04 10R if your budget can stretch to to it.

The GSXR 750 K4 is a good bike but don't forget to have a go on a K5 GSXR 1000. It will blow your mind

Haven't ridden any of the CBR's

Happy bike hunting

Well i really wanted the GSXR the problem i am having is the closest ones to me are about 100 odd miles away and they are strecthing my budget on what i want to spend. Have got a test ride on the ZX9 in a mo as there is one just across the road from me, hopefully its ok.

Well i was very impressed with the zx9r i took out, had a nice bit of power and jesus the brakes were like hitting a brick wall so much so that i over ran a roundabout on my 6R on my way back from the test ride. I couldn't find any GSXR's really in my price range and the closest blades that took my fancy were all over 100 odd miles away which seemed like a lot of effort so today i went and stuck my deposit on the ninga, now just waiting till friday till i collect it
