What bike for ?3K?

[rizo-sri200]

Now that i am debt free im looking at saving for a few months to buy a new bike?

Im restricted but i wont buy the bike for atleast 6months so by which time my restriction will only have 4 months on it left so fuk the restricter kit.

gotta be roomy and beefy enough to pull 18 stone

Thinking along the lines of a sportsbike or smoto?

Could possibly afford more but it depends.

£3k eh?

I've got an NC30 with your name on it

Don't worry about restrictions, just getyourself a large capacity sporty all rounder. Perhaps a VFR800?

Smaller bikes lose value too quickly and won't have the grunt for distance touring with alot of weight.
Ideally you could get something you could track day, and commute on without an extreme sporty riding position.

Mostly fun with the odd longish journey

Word is that end of November/beginning of December is the best time to buy a bike.

Private sellers will be looking for some extra Xmas money
Ditto dealers.
Sunshine riders will be getting rid of this year's model so they can pish away another eight thou next summer.
The weather is crap and the only people still riding are real bikers and riders who don't have a car - neither of whom will sell you their bike for silly money.

Just type £2k to £3K into Biketrader and see what comes up. The recommendations for this kind of price range could go on forever.

TL1000S. 3000 should be enough for one of those bad boys.
