recomend me something different

[Keir]

Im after a bike thats a little different to the norm. My gsxr, fazer, vfr are all sports bikes and seem fairly similar in character.
Can anyone recomend me a bike thats slightly different?
Ive thought of a racing 2 stroke but dont know if that will be much different and ive also looked at supermotos but they seem expensive.

What do you reckon? Ive got around £1500.

What sort of riding? Do you want power, handling, long distance ability, economy? Town, city or countryside riding mainly?

[Odie]

A motorised uni-cycle?

You may find a supermoto for the money, otherwise how about a large capacity naked bike? Personally I like Ducati Monsters, though they're not everyone's cup of tea!

[Keir]

yeah i have just been looking at them, although when i think ducati i think "running costs!", thats partly the reason i didnt sell the gsxr and get a 996.
I could be wrong, but whatever i get i dont want my fun bike to be a money pit.

Yeah, i'd go the Enduro/offroad route with £1500.

Either that or some mad 2 stroke hand grenade

....Or maybe a Firestorm

2T hand grenade would be fun and radically different to the inline 4 4T experience. KR1-S, RGV, TZR, 350 YPVS etc. I am biased I admit but as a toy these can't be beat . You have other bikes to ride when you're waiting for pistons and gaskets so I strongly recommend one!

If you want weird and wonderful, supermonos and small smokers definitely fit the bill. Bimota made a supermono (SB6 i think) and there's the Yamaha SZR660. For a little smoker, do not overlook RD350s. They're in a low state of tune, and are easily come by on ebay. Resale value will be good too! Mind you, if you buy any supermono, supermoto or stroker like the RD you'll be bound to make your money back.

Lovely bikes, big singles in a small sports package. A small 250 or 350 2-stroke would be just as much fun:

All lovely looking bikes (except the RD and SZR maybe...) and all a little out of the ordinary!
