    Take them all for a ride, then get seriously drunk and in the morning you should have made up your mind.

    ummm.... I don't think you'll get a 2001 for 8, not only hard to find, but more like 10+ for that year... if you can... I wish you had told me a month ago...

    Realistically, the r6 could be newer, to make it even on price with the others, making the 7 the oldest bike in your lineup.

    They are certainly heavy, and basically, a 1996 bike, as they got it so right they never really changed it, then never released another update, just stopped making it.

    I'm biased... I love my 7, very different, and maybe not outright best, but a good rider can keep up, but maybe not through real twisty stuff. Power wise, new 600s are about the same, not more powerful. Compared to the 05 gixxer, the 7 has 2hp more, ~10nm more, but the weight cancels it out really.

    Well here is my 2c worth.

    Buy the newest one in the best condition you can find for the money you want to spend.
    If you go 2up buy a 750 or bigger, only because it is (usually) more roomy.
    What about an R1 or GSXR1000?
    Should be a few around for $10k now

    well it looks like the choice of brand is pretty even... the suzuki's might just have it...

    but i reckon all you guys are letting your emotions cloud you :-p and they are clouding me too!

    thanks for all your opinnions, but i think i am going for the 7R. I'll look forward to being rapidly passed by you guys on the first ride i come on...
