I might want to sell my bandit 600 and get a good bike to replace it...

I want something cool Cool , better than the bandit it almost every way, ideally less than £2k and bonus points if it will pass the London ultra low emissions 2020 shite Very Happy

Any thoughts?

Was thinking a ducati monster, mt 0something or a cb1000r

Are you really likely to keep the 'new' bike for long enough for the 'emissions shite' to be relevant?

Good point.

If it is good/fun enough then yes

You won't get a CB1000R for <2k, you'll get an old monster or an MT-03.

Lots of bikes for 2k.

If it was me, I'd nearly double that and grab Ham's R1 in the FS section... Drooling

ST4? 916 motor but comfy to ride. Amazingly good fun, great noise and surprisingly economical. When I was looking there were a fair few about for that money or less.
