SV Written off - Pick me a new bike
 
Getting all my money back so no big deal.

Need a new bike on a 0% deal, the contenders are in the poll.

Pleas, if you have one of these, let me know your thoughts and feeling on each.

Thanks

David

How about a BMW 800GS, they look awesome. If they as half as good as their big brother the 1200GS they will be 10 times better that your choice above.

Just a thought - both the ZX6R and R6/R1 are in their respective makers 0% deals.

One of them SV650s? Or, it seems like Suzuki are doing 0% on some bikes they can't sell, namely the GSR600 and DZR400.

I like the Z750, but the suspension's broken, if I was getting one of those I'd budget for work on it before it arrived, it really lets the bike down IMO.

+1, I've heard the rear shock is pathetic, and completely unsuited to the bike. Other than that it's meant to be a goodun.

Triumph Street Triple (6 month waiting list) or Honda Hornet 600.

The two best naked bikes for under 6 grand new bar NONE!

:cool:

From your list, probably the Z750 but would want to get the 1000. Not the Shiver, I thought it looked nice until I saw it in the flesh.

if i had the money going spare and wanted a naked bike i'd be wanting one of these, seems to have blitzed the competition in all the reviews, the Z750 seems to come off the worst in the middle weight showdown, if you like i could try and scan the "BIKE" article for you?

personally if my SV were written off i'd probably save a bit more and get a daytona 675, but then i'd be wanting a sportsbike, not a naked bike, i saw a graphite one today outside the LBS and almost wet myself:smt058

My choice after a red seated Sv!

Is there really a waiting list though?
