Default 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!

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.

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

Is there really a waiting list though?
