 |
|
Ok I've taken the slow route , ie ridden hacks and general other assorted pieces of crap , like NTVs GT550s GT750s(awful), CB500s , Xj600s , SR125 , CG125, gained a ton of experience and
I'm approaching my 4th year of riding , and I'm wanting for something more , more beef better handling ,before bikes are banned or something.
I think I can push the bike no farther and don't wanna Joey Dunlop ie push it till I end up in A&E, this was made apparent by my hero blobs being worn down a bit more after this weekend and also when I was completely and utterly owned by John C which is no surprise! since hes a v good rider. current bike will be relgated to commuter.
My NC30 search hasn't turned much up, such that here is your brief :
wanted
400cc-750 sports
NOT an SV
<£2750 cheaper the better! (damn my mental
conditioning!) + £up to £500 for ins
uncomfortable as humanly possible
used for weekend play time only cept when I break the NTV
handles well
has rewarding handling charactoristics ie it is not forgiving or easy going like CBRs
top end ie 110+ MPH performance is unecessary well not yet anyway
does not have to be faired, hence if there is a beefy naked bike that handles v well (other than triumph)
my thoughts are 2001 636? , R6 ? , CBR600 ? Thundercat? , FZR1000? (minter £900).
any suggestions?

Hornet? It's no sportsbike by a long shot, but you could have two in great condition for that price  |

I agree extreme, I've always said it's not what you ride it's the way that you ride it. Which is why I am regularly found embarrassing the latest GSXZXYZFRRR on my weedy 250  ____________________ If you dont like the way that I ride.......Stop trying to keep up!!! |
