So I like naked bikes & upright seating etc. Just sold my Street Triple, and looking for the next thing.
Speed Triple and CB1000R are top contenders, but will consider others. Anybody out there thinking of selling up their pride and joy?
Looking to spend 8-9k, maybe up to 10.

See if you can score one of the B Kings on TM with an offer.

Don't overlook the ZRX1200R, if you can find one. Probably the best big UJM naked ever.

Aye, the brother sold his just recently. For a reproduction of a reproduction they've got no right to be as good as they are. Lovely engine too.Originally Posted by Hitcher

Built specially for the ZRX and never seen anywhere else and never injected. An absolute peach of an engine.

Yes, he bought it while still owning a GS1200A which had just cost him several thousand dollars due to failed ECU and ABS units.
Took him a good year to get over it.

I always had a wet jizz patch in my jeans for one of these,( i know) but you could buy a pair and still have money left for AA membership

Cheers for all of the responses. I'm attempting to narrow options down, but still bringing up new possibilities (Tuono, R1150/1200R). Unfortunately Being out in the provinces brings fewer test riding opportunities for comparisons. Went the other direction and took a ZX10R for a ride on the weekend, that just re-affirmed I don't want a sport bike.
I'm looking for big naked not giant naked! It's a possibility - although I find the B King looks quite challenging. I think Busas are prettier.
Yeah double entendre for sure - can't live without them (both double entendres and big nakeds)
I've heard of them, and I don't mind stuff that is a bit different (until you have to find parts) - although I've had the convenience of EFI for a bikes now.
Another giant naked. Tempting, though I think I still want somthing that rewards redling it - they seem to be a massive mid range machine? Also trying to keep weight realistic for around town.
1n or 1s? I looked into those a little bit, and wouldn't rule it out. Can you you send me more details on it please?

they may be BIG bikes physically but any of the XJR11/12/1300's, GS1400, zrx11/1200 or the CB1300. I bought the 'bol d'or' version 'red/white with the bikini fairing' CB13 and it really is a bloody good UJM, I have a friend with the GS1400, and the roll on power etc is very similar, the honda handles a wee bit better, the ZRX is supposed to be the 'fastest' of the four, the yammy is based on the old FJ11/1200 motor, and that was always a 'peach' of a motor...
None of them have 'blistering' top end performances by today standards {240-250kph} or will cut up tight stuff like a sprotbike or lightweight, but for everyday purely usable power, comfort, performznce they are truly excellent bikes and worth serious consideration.

Why don't you go ahead and point me in the direction of a new superduke for under $10k.
