What to get????

Well the Bandit isnt even finished yet and I am already wondering what to get next.

My options are:

*600 sports (R6, ZX6R, CBR600 etc.)
*400 sports or 600sports (CBR400, VFR400, ZXR400) to be used to race at tracks and do track days on.
*250cc Scrambler. There is a lot of fields near where I live that every weekend have groups of people meet up and drive there bikes around. Also I could use this as a back up incase anything happens to the Bandit. Plus they are Cheap.
*Or finally a GSX1100 that I could use as a proper streetfighter with NOS etc.

Opinions welcome.

Mikey.

You can have manic fun on the road with knobblies, but supermotos do look better. As Robby said, it depends on your expected budget.

Go ride your 6 Razz

... see what you do and don't like then decide which bits you want to be improved on your next bike Smile

I can always count on you G, for a sensible answer!! Very Happy

I think that is a good idea.

Its just that I have seen a few CBR600 100bhp race bikes in MCN and Biketrader going for like £1600.

I wouldnt mind a supermoto but they arent cheap. But I have seen quite a few KTM's hacking around the city and they do make a nice noise!!! Smile

Just thinking guys, as I know that riding the Bandit isnt going to be comfortable at high speeds with no screen or fairings. And I dont think a track day would be any good due to this and the fact that if I crashed it I would be well PISSED!!!

But Its nice to plan ahead.

Mike.

horses for courses innit..

a dt175 WILL whup a gsxr750s ass round a moto x track

a busa WILL whup (just about) anything in a straight line Laughing

track riding is about riders not bikes anyway.. observe the racing at small circuits, rs125s lap 2 seconds off the pace of the superbikes..! and would whup ANYTHING and ANYONE on this board and many others

I thought the litre class bikes had pretty much caught up with the busa as far as straight line speed went... at least over the 1/4 mile.

And yea.... though I think the GSXR750 vs 1000 issue is relevent... not sure how skilled a ride was riding, but I think the idea was that most people would be too scared to use the thou to it's full potential, while the 750 is a more reasonable prospect to push with out serious brown-pants syndrome Smile

Wait untill the 950 KTM comes out. 140mph supermotard.

And more to the point of having a supermoto that's bloody heavy ... top end could be fun, but it's almost inevitably linked to significantly more weight etc.
