Too slow. :(

Topped out the 1250 today on an empty M6.

I think I want something faster.

I'm thinking Z1000 SX - I like the look and the fact that its a little bit more tourer than the naked model...

Is there an obvious bike that I'm missing to go look at?

- Sports tourer
- 120+bhp
- £5k-£6k

I would consider the following;

FZS1000
FZ1
Z1000SX
Blackbird

You topped out a 1250...? Hasn't that got a top speed of 120mph+? and you want to go FASTER on a motorway?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Good point.

As it is I have to service mine every 2 months. Id prefer not to have to, but I am used to it...

My advice is keep a naked bike, as a faired bike is less exciting to ride than a naked at high speeds. So what you're doing is changing to a bike that will be less exciting for doing the thing you want it to do... Seems a bit crazy to me.

Ok, that is a given...

But why do you need the speed? Why not just get a bike that will be supremely comfortable at 80mph?

Blackbirds are usually owned by older caring owners but they are starting to show their age now. It's a big, heavy, powerful bike so consumables will be big, chunky and expensive.

Get something shaftdrive with a barn door fairing and a stereo
