What to buy?

[Kirill357]

Does anyone has any idea what could possible be suitable? Currently have old CBR600 1992, I use it for commuting (read "occasional" linesplitting) and sometimes weekend rides on twisty roads, I want 1000 but with similar to my old bike more upright position, already checked VFR800, all good, but dont like dynamics and sound :) , CBR1000r seems to be a bit uncomfortable, haven't tried triples, but I think will stick to in-line fours. Dont know about 750's its not a big diffirence with 600, is it? So any input will be greatly appreciated, cheers

One of these perhaps?

Triumph Street Triple fits all your criteria - could be doing yourself a disservice not to try the triples:third:

Isn't blackbirds a bit bulky to get through the morning traffic :) from albany :) at 7:30-8 :)

Look guys, this isn't a 'post pics of faggoty diesel pieces of crap' thread :no:

Kirill, ignore all these crappy whales, keep the CBR to bash through traffic on, and get yourself something considerably more fun (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=84119) :yes:

Unless of course you don't actually want to build a bike... but you're a real biker ain't ya?

Yes yes, a big pisstake (ok well not totally), keep your skirts on ladies

Any preference on naked or faired?

Errr no actually.... one of my riding partners has been commuting from Browns Bay to Newmarket on his for the last 4 years. They're actually quite nimble. If you want something for mainly town work, a Motard might be the weapon of choice:eek:

[Kirill357]

Not really into naked bikes, otherwise would have one already, my problem is that I used to this bike's position and cant think about something different, tomorrow will get the fuk out and try some bikes for the christ sake :)

I've been lanesplitting on a ZX-14 for ages, a Blackbird is just as easy (read easier), I've been riding the whole way down the NW and half of the Southern.

I thought top is ZX14r :cool:

Bloody oath... Dukes are best

Ducati ST2 or ST4. You'll be a happy man.

ST2 has an aircooled 2 valve motor, reliable and not difficult to service.

ST4 is a superbike. A bit more expensive to service with 4 valves but reliable.

Check them out.

Yeah, that's the spirit! Try some out to see what you like. I've never gone higher than a 750- that is more than enough for me- so I can't advise you.

Good luck!
