Oh what a decision !!!!

I think I'd be tempted by a GSXR 750 or a ZX10R.

Joe

Best bet would be to get your self over to P&H in Crawley and test ride as many bikes that take you interest as you can. They've got a good range of demo bikes. Personally I can see you on a black zx-10r or a "stealth" black GSXR-1000 K5.

If you do do that, let us know I'll come join you on the test rides.

I had a test on an RSVR factory the other day, nice machine but nowhere near as 'up for it' as my gixer thou (my opinion). Have a test on a big gixer Joe, top bike for what you want. I recently got my K4 ltd edition with only 800 miles on the clock for £6200.

A bike to thrash on the road?
Trackdays?
Want it to be easy to ride fast?
Want it to make you work a bit?
Want it to be tame?
Want it to be scary at times?

It is an option, but I only have room in the garage for one.

I would say make some room for two bikes in ya garage, then go for a GSXR1000 k3 (about £5k) and a cheapish 600cc trackbike (about £2k).

Get a daytime MOT for the track bike.

Thay way you've not only got a 'back up' bike, but you'll be less worried about thrashing the track bike on track and it's generally a better begginer track bike as such, in my opinion.

That sounds like a damn good plan Thumbs Up

Still planning on buying my old RR back for trackday duties.
