    You could always get my GSX1200, it is a bloody awesome bike. I've decided to replace it with two bikes, a full-dress tourer and something small for commuting, but if I could only run one bike I would keep the GSX.

    I could probably get you my old superbike for that money. Haldanes built, Mr Clee's Dyno says it's got 182 ponies at the rear tread and more torque than a train.

    Swanky suspension front and rear, both just been rebuilt.

    Fuckin MEAN street fighter for someone with nads the size of watermelons! Or get some road fairings, or race it.

    For that kind of money, I have to say that the VTR's are great value with no more aftermarket mods really required. It does everything quite competently (except its fuel consumption is not that great - but worth it). It will take you on the track, the back roads, touring (although that gets a little tiring for me).

    It also has a great grin factor. The Honda reliability is there and servicing is relatively cheap. It also doens't look old, which is more than you can say for a lot of bikes that price.

    Fuck no, it's a race bike man! It's been thrashed it's whole life, but I bet you wont find a road motor that's in any better nick. Things been stripped and serviced more times than most K6's have had tyres!
