One trials bike works, and the cag and the RD both run alright! Sod off! I don't have too many...

I'm contemplating a new bike now that mine has been written off....I liked the SV a lot, but wanted to keep modding it to make it better...been thinking of a Daytona or even a Gixxer 600...

I am 99% certain i'll get a new bike when I get my first year NCB. Love the SV but it is just so easy to change bikes....

With cars the price variance between decent and exotica is much greater than bikes. I'd never have say a 57 Cooper S (got) and hanker after a Porsche 911 Turbo but at the same time I have an SV and could theoretically get an 09 R1 if I reeeeally wanted it and didnt think I'd kill myself.

Perhaps totally obvious but probably the reason I am never satisfied re my bike.

I see your point, the price differential is much less, but the R1 isn't the Porsche 911 of bikes the BMW HP2 Sport is and thats lots more expensive! The R1 is more of a Subaru Impreza or something, it's not counted as exotica. The Ferrari 430 of bikes? Maybe a Ducati 1098. And the Pagani Zonda? The Desmosedici

and now your into silly money for the bike world!

ok, the 09 R1 isnt exotica I guess but its got to be classed in a higher bracket than a Scooby! Its 10K too to be fair. You follow my rationale anyhoos

OK then, Mitsubish Evo. But only the 09 one, there 3 million 08's at every bike meet!
