Hi all, I have about $8500 to spend on my next bike and I'm loosing my brain considering what to get.
Let's start with my bike history.
RG150
NSR250SP
(break for several years)
VTR250
VTR1000F
2004 Fireblade
(Got the motard bug)
DRZ400SM
KTM 525SX Motard (exc running gear)
Husqvarna 610 SM
Now, I commute the western motorway to work each day approx 50km round trip
I was erring towards something like a VTR1000F or SV1000 as I do love the Vtwins but in that price bracket the world is my oyster. I really like the looks of the Aprilia RSV 1000s but I'm a little sceptical about their reliability. I have seen GSXR600/750 K6s etc in this price bracket also Hondas of the same era. I just can't make up my bloody mind! As I say I'm erring towards a big twin but which one! I prefer the look of the VTR to the SV1000s but know they're really old technology now.
"help me obe wan kenobi, you're my only hope"
