Most desired bike in range of $15k to $30k

[SpankMe]

I have been asked by a prospective advertiser to put up a poll. So if you can give me a list of bikes you think fit in this range, I will add it to the poll and then open it for votes once there are enough bikes added.

New bikes only.

Poll open. Just pick the closest to what you like best.

[firefighter]

Definitely all the supersport bikes and superbikes.

My favourites definitely R6, GSXR atm.

Speed triple, 675 daytona.

Maybe that's just my wish list?

Always seems like a shit-load of interest in those.

I myself buy the magazines doing the reviews on the new years models of these.

Daytona 675
Ducati HyperRetard
KTM 990 Adventure

are the ones pushing my buttons right now

[Cajun]

the triumphs seam to be the 'trendy' bikes at the moment,
but list is rather large really, since there is sub groups,
600cc
1000cc

Big Dave might have an idea of what the #1 selling bike in NZ is

[SpankMe]

I think all the Japanese sport bikes should be just be one option.

[EJK]

No "used bikes" right?

Only Brands sorry. Suzuki.

There is a link to new bike prices on the front page

They aren't trendy - they are very good.

[firefighter]

Sounds sensible. Perhaps list both 600cc and 1000cc or specifically mention it's for both.

Probably together for the people who can't make up their minds!

It's quite hard you'll need another one for jap sport-tourers/nakeds etc

[imdying]

TSS500GP, no competition.

[PirateJafa]

Honda RC30.

Anyone who disagrees is wrong.

[YellowDog]

I have already bought a bike in that category, and it was my first choice.

If you gave me another $20-$30k, I'd get a new Triumph Thunderbird.

[James Deuce]

Hd xr1200.

Ftw

[ManDownUnder]

Aprilia RSV-R

[Maki]

Some kind of Ducati and BMW?

[R6_kid]

Aren't the base model 1098 and 848 both in that range?

[Cajun]

Aren't the base model 1098 and 848 both in that range?

1098/1198 no its over 30k

but yes to 848

but there is the ducati monster series according to bike point 696, 1100, 1100s all under 30k

[The Pastor]

Honda cbr 250 rr - i have one for sale at 15k, pms only plz

[hospitalfood]

yeah should be more ducati options, more KTM options, more buell options, more BMW options, etc etc etc.........

[ital916]

wheres the SUPERDUKE....that has to definately be on the list!

[sinfull]

It's gonna be a big poll cause, just using triumph for example you could say 675 daytona for sports, nakeds for the street and speed triples, cruiser to cover the new thunderbird !
And realistically that will have to go accross the board for all the makes to give everone an option !

[sil3nt]

I like my sports tourers so the K1300S really floats my boat right now. Don't think its available here yet though.

[Gremlin]

KTM RC8 (now less than 30k, but R is over)
KTM 990 SM
KTM 990 SMT

I like KTM :love:

[AD345]

Victory 8-ball

hell, you could put swept matt black pipes and Ness bars (black) and still have change from 28K

100 ci FTW!

[Kiwi Graham]

MT, this poll is going to be massive mate!
Most desirable bike in a 15-30k price range!
Each manufacturer has a range of top models covering several styles/types and for every bike there is a passionate owner beliving its the most desirable.
Picking Suzuki for example why limit the choice to just the GSXR range?

[spacemonkey]

Motoguzzi Breva, Bellagio, Griso. :2thumbsup

[riffer]

Hd xr1200.

Ftw


Seconded. Specifically the XR1200X with the Show Big Piston Forks.

[SpankMe]

Yep, impossible to have every bike with only 12 options, so I'll stick to just sport bikes, sort of. Poll open. Just pick the closest to what you like best.

[Muppet]

I want a BMW S1000RR!

[beyond]

Bugga! I'll have to make a choice on whats on offer but if GSX1400's were more expensive and classified as a sports bike I'd still pick one of those :)

[Sidewinder]

848 in white, mmmmmmmm........ sex

[BMWST?]

i wouldnt buy any of the bikes you have listed...

[sinfull]

that was just so rigged Spank ! How much did Key pay ya ??? It's almost identical to our democracy we call NZ politics !!!

[Gremlin]

...so I'll stick to just sport bikes, sort of.
bike-ist... :oi-grr:

[lanci]

I went 848 cause it's so god damn good looking and is a v-twin...

[Clivoris]

Can I have an 848 and a Superduke?

[AllanB]

eh? - I think you need to start another poll for cruisers - with up to $30k to spend looking at the amount of Harleys in NZ there would be a lot of votes that way.
And like your 'put all Jap sports bikes together' you could so the same with the big block HD's.

I voted a Triumph triple - but it would be a naked one.

Then again with 15 -30 to spend I'd keep probably keep what I have and get a used (later model) bonnie and start a bobber project. I'd have heaps of $ left over.

Then again a S4R would be nice ..........

[Swoop]

If "most desired" means that a bike is really that popular, then obtaining one second hand would be rather difficult.
I know a few that fit that category.

[mashman]

The Prila gets my vote, certainly best bang for buck i reckons... but i is biased. I wonders how many on here voted for what they ride!!!

[jrandom]

I'd have the Deus custom bobber sitting in their showroom on Wellesley Street.

Mm, mm.

[Toaster]

Having had 6 suzuki's to 1 Honda, I know my favorite brand. The others did even get a look in.

[Insanity_rules]

848 in white, mmmmmmmm........ sex

Oh my god I totally agree with Sidewinder, how trippy is that? 848 848 848 848! White is sex on a stick and they ride really well.

[gunnyrob]

where's the mighty R1200gs?

[Hitcher]

The best test for any of the bikes in the list would be to see if they have a NZ distributor prepared to honour the factory warranty.

[wbks]

2009 GSXR 600 and 2009 R1

[ready4whatever]

R1 .

[bikerboy011]

First one on the list would be a ducati 1198 second cbr1000rr..or an 08 r1

[Coldrider]

848 in white, mmmmmmmm........ sex
Complete with Pixie Lott hanging off the side of one, Mama do, oh o, oh o........
