What are my options?

[moppy]

Me and the ZXR aren't really gelling and I think I want something a little different. Let's say I have a budget of ~£2000 to play with and I'm in the market for something:
- naked
- ideally not an inline 4 (want to try a v-twin)
- comfortable for both me and pillion
- less than 10 years old
- no less than 600cc (pillion duties)

I'm guessing the Hornet & the Blandit are the obvious choices (apart from being IL-4s) but anything else to look at?

Don't really mind style of the bike, but want to own an unfaired bike for a while.

xj600? hornet 600/900? various fazers?

Sv650 of course, it's part faired. It's not an IL4.

XJ would be an option...if it wasn't so monstrously hideous. I imagine it will be hugely disappointing after my current ZX9R engine too

I do quite like the old Fazers, before they became the FZ6. A really good condition Darth Vader one might be an option.

After searching around, I see they did a naked SV 650 too, pretty nice looking bike as well...

Zrx1100 or 1200. But less than 10 yr old would probably be a zrx1200.
Also an IL4 but is niiiiiice.

I'd say a mint Firestorm for £1500-1700 and keep a few quid to upgrade the suspension and brakes. But they like the TLS don't have great pillion comfort, and take it from me if you have a 6'2 pillion they won't want to go more than a mile or so without having cramp from hell.

VFR750? BROS 650? Ducati ST2? Kawasaki ER6F? SV1000?

Tuono, you'll have to save another 500 quid though.

ZRX is a good shout, love those bikes, but they aren't cheap I want to avoid getting a litre bike for as long as possible as well. I've only been riding for less than 3 years and already have a 900cc bike. I want to have something to look forward to

Also, 1200cc engine would rape my wallet on mpg, sprockets, tires etc.

Gonna disregard all the sports bike options, I definitely want a naked or at the very least semi naked bike.

ER-6 might be a choice, but I hate the head lights...Round/square headlights for me I think.

BROS are all too old now, I really like those bikes, such sexy little things.
