Hi new member

[jonah_rr]

Hi just joined the forum been on here before and got some good info and a few laughs, so I thought I would join the forum and contribute.
I have been riding around three years and i am currently without a bike but I will be looking to buy something in the coming months.
If this is supposed to be in new bikers section then please move but I couldn't see a pinned thread for new members.

Howdy, you get more love if you post in the newbie section.

You get a lot more love if your first post has a picture of a motorcycle.

Basically it's gonna have to be a Fireblade to win us over now

Not sure what to get next, I've thought about a daytona 955i from 03 onwards or a rsv mille from early 00

Hi and welcome Jonah, I've always been a bit scared of aprilia's they seem a bit fragile and highly strung bikes. Mind you there not bad looking bikes.

My budget is 3k so I'm hoping that would get me a decent rsv mille
As for the triumph G there's not that many reviews they all say it's a real world sports bike or does that translate to bland?

[Uncle fester]

What about an early speed triple ? Not far off your budget

£3k is lots of money.

There is plenty of bikes I would get for 3k... what type of riding you planning on?

[jonah_rr]

The speed triples are nice they are worth considering.
I ride on twisty a and b roads go down to poole on a350 alot, Cheddar, Salisbury plain, I rarely go on the motorway.
Last bike I had was a xjr 1300 loved the torque and power delivery but the handling when pushed was too lazy, had a gsxr 750 srad before that
But I found it quite revvy.

[P.addy]

Then GSXR1000/R1

[G]

[jonah_rr]

Think I'll take a look at some gsxr 1000's and maybe the 02 r1.

[G]

GSXR1000 has noticeably more 'grunt' I'd say.

That money should get you an 04 R1 however and the ARE pretty, at least .

[Pigeon]

£3k - 2004 ZX10R

[jonah_rr]

True the 04 r1 is a better looking bike than the equivalent gsxr.
Maybe going japanese will give me more peace of mind, from what I've read the rsv ' s can be temperamental.

Not the best looking front, I admit that, but not the worst either judging by the look of other bikes of that era. Ducati 749/999 was not a looker surely.
