What Bike For 3-4k?

Discussion in 'Ducati General Discussion' started by RC1, Aug 23, 2017.

  1. assuming i needed to complete a 60 miles round trip daily what should i get. heres my must haves

    - sports bike (not sports tourer)
    - capable of being ridden in the wet easily by a rider with below average skill level (when i lend it to my best mate of course)
    - ideally blackish
    - needs to be startable before 8am without too much of a din (totally not like my R)
    - needs to have fewer than 10k miles

    i used to have an early gen r6 which at the time was better than the other equivalent jap bikes. a mate has a k7 gixxer 600 but i think its more than i want to spend

    i could get a bent 848 i guess but might be a bit noisy?

    Four out of six! plus it's better looking than a sports bike;) less than £3k but has 14k miles, one owner too and new belts.

    Screen, hand guards, heated grips for the Winter, better visibility and comfort for commuting too!

    Most importantly, it's black ish...
