Which bike would you choose to have?

[firefighter]

I was going to mention this earlier in your thread, but how come the 848 wasn't on your list of options ?

I ca'nt afford it. It's about $15000 over budget. If I was buying a new bike however, i'd find the extra 8k or so to get it, but 15k over budget is a bit overkill!

I'm looking at spending around 11k-12k. Much over that and it's getting a bit much really. I have the cash available, and if I wanted to get crazy I could literally purchase it, as long as I was prepared to live without food for a while!

The Karmic/Cosmic thing is... that bike used to live in Napier, so it knows the roads well.
It's not really built for commuting with those mods, but only a ride will tell you how comfortable it really is.

AS far as depreciation it would've been what $27000.00 new and stock, and it's now 6yrs old and had loads spent, time to crack out the calculator.

From what I've read, your sold already. Go take it for a spin. Hell Jason'd probably buzz down to you (?).

Really not sure what to do here. Why did i have to look for a different bike?!? lol
