Naked 1000

Ride them all and let your heart decide.
(Although I vote for LBD's duc.)

Depends on your budget and what you want exactly.

CB1000R (Predator) and FZ1 are like naked sportsbikes, in terms of how they deliver power.

Grunty v-twins like the Tuono and Superduke are still quick, but make their power differently.

Then, still around 1000cc, you have the KTM Supermoto and Ducati Hypermotard. Still naked, about a litre (ok, the Duc is a 1200) but more like big motards.

im with ya gremlin, is a hard call between superduke and smr

all the others pale by comparison

I'd take an SMC over an SMR.

I had an SM, I'd take the SM over the lot, but if I had to choose, it would be the SMR... the SMC was a bit too ring a ding. The 990 SMR tuned right etc, would wheelstand in 3rd gear, no clutching. Its like a motard on steroids

the thruxton is the coolest looking bike ever :P

Had the FZ1 cos I couldn't afford a Z1000.
I actually felt better after I swapped bikes and went from the FZ1 to a Z1.......the Z1000 is no where near as sporty as the FZ1 is. But it does look better.
I would go for the FZ1 if you like the R6 top end thrill.....but otherwise what about an MT-01? if you want something different.

As for bang for buck, easy as pie bike - SV1000 / TL1000 is not bad
