Opinions People. I have a 1200 Multistrada which I am more than happy with but am looking for something different as a contrast. I don't really want to spend more than 3k and my eye has been caught by the following...1999 Fireblade.....2005 GSXR1000 or GSXR600 or 2002 Yamaha R6, or should I be looking for something else ?
A Honda C90 would be different.... Looking at your post it's speed you are after.....I came from a Cbr600rr/R6/Zx6r background and compared to my Hyper they were a pain to keep revving the brains out of them to get any decent get up and go and I wouldn't go back If I wanted speed and handling I'd go for any 1000 and try to control myself
The Honda C90 would leave me space in the garage for a third bike which I would call Wednesday !! that means only 4 more bikes to make up the week
Early R1 4XV as mentioned above. Prices are rocketing but you will still find a good one around your budget - but not for long!!!
It will be a tough find at £4k but if you can, a Gixxer 750 K7, the best handling gixxer ever made and the last before all that mode nonsense they brought in. Were I not in love with the strada 1000, I would get another k7 tomorrow.
K4/5 750 is a better bike than the K7's. I owned both, albeit the K7 was stolen within a year. The frame paint on the K7's was bloody atrocious, started rubbing off from my boots after a couple of thousand miles. The K4/5 will rocket in value in the next 5 years too, theyre already going up a good rate for clean ones.
