[cowpoos]

Cool...anniversary one?

could do....would preffer a non-anniversary....alittle cheaper and I'm not very good at keeping bikes in pristine condition externally...especially as suzukis traditional don't keep there brand new looks for very long...

Yeah...spend the cash on some bits instead. A carbon fibre can... *nice*

[Gremlin]

Not only that, but buying an anniversary model means you buy it, then buy more parts as you don't want to ruin all the special bits, you put those back on when you sell.

so can, probably seat, chain, everything with special writing etc... madness really, unless you are going to keep it as a collectors item, and what's the point??

Bikes are there to be ridden.

Take the bikes for a ride and feel what you like. The way I see it, there are twin people and inline four people. Some like the screaminess, others the droning/boominess. So, after you've decided what engine you like, find the one that appeals to you.... I have a Z1000, so would go for that. I suppose the CB would be next.... I'm not nuts about twins, regardless of power characteristics.... They just don't sound right when being revved.... I have mates that feel exactly the opposite and love the twins.....
They all cost money, so buy the one you like the most....

[Teflon]

Out of the VTR1000, CB900 Hornet, and SV1000, which one would be the best overall. Speed, comfort, ease of use, etc.. Will mostly be used for commuting, and weekend cruising, so looking for something that can do hopefully do both. Are there any other bikes that are similiar to the bikes listed above? and around the same price tag aswell.. suggestions?

Are there any common problems aswell on those bikes listed above? The vtr1000 has carbs while the CB900 is fuel injected, is there any problem with the carbs on the vtr1000?

EDIT: Looking for knowledge, not actually looking for one

I would take the VTR over the rest, forgiving and easy to ride.

Fuel injection on the TLS and TLR is a pain in the arse around town. i can't see the SV being any different.

funny enough the injection on SV is great with the VTR you'll be visiting the petrol station so often its not funny

[Jantar]

All three listed are really great bikes with the SV and VTR perhaps having a slight edge over the CB.

But if you are looking for atrue all rounder then I believe the DL1000 should be included. Not as fast as the 3 listed on open roads, but when you throw in the twisties and a bit gravel then the DL will leave the rest behind.
