Monster for me, spend that cash on an original 900 and you'll be able to sell it on later with minimal losses too.

Tuono 1000 was an awesome ride, only thing i have had more road fun on was a Superduke R. They are solid and reliable and properly scary fast. I would have one over a MT series any day.
My current bike is a blast once modified properly, Dorsoduro 750 factory.
Its marmite looks but i bloody love it. It is by some margin the best handling naked bike i have ridden.

They need an exhaust and a remap to wake them up but once that is done they are brilliant. (emissions limits really messed these up )
I will be holding on to mine for a few years yet, until i can afford a 1290R. ____________________ 2014 Aprillia dorsoduro 750 factory. |

That's... a good question. It seems like the sort of miserly, petty thing I'd bring up, but it turns out...

If it's that bad, then I guess it is a point worth considering.

Aye i mean im not fussed about using a lot of fuel myself, my fireblade was hardly frugal. but when the only other bike needing 3 tanks worth on a run is our other mates firestorm you know the 10s bloody thirsty haha.
Yes it should be spelled that way you are right, but that was taken when i created my old live account and i have just used this since.
Close enough for me and always accepts rather than me having 50 different user names for all the forums ect i use . ____________________ 2014 Aprillia dorsoduro 750 factory. |

I have an MT10 and dont spend my life in petrol stations or at 20mpg etc, if you wind it up it drinks... if you dont it doesn't like pretty much every other bike.
Ive had 2 R1's and honestly its slightly better on fuel than the 2012 and slightly worse than the 2006, i see about 45mpg avg on a motorway or a decent fast a road run and about 32 doing stop start stuff, worst ive had was 22ish on a track day.
Anyways back on topic if your after a reasonably new bike for the things you said for about 3-4k? go for a mt07 or a z750 or summin along those lines. Mt09 is a good bike but im not sure what kinda 09 you would get for your money and personally I didnt "click" with it so after riding the 07 and the 09 back to back i bought the 07.
If you dont mind going abit older and would prefer to have some change rattling around in your pocket I would be tempted to look at something along the lines of a sv1000, fz1, hornet 900 or even the big Triumphs the names of which i forget .
Honestly if you go a little older with your budget you can pretty much get anything u want ____________________ Bikes owned :- 2001 nsr125, 1999 zx6r, 2006 yzf-r1, 2009 xmax 250, 2012 yzf-r1, 2015 MT-07
