What Would You Buy?

2WA had a few of us guessing there for a bit on what he was spending is $4,000 - $8,000 budget on. So, assuming you have to work within that budget (Aunty Betty has kindly given you the cash) AND you have to pick a bike that is currently up for sale, what would be buying assuming you MUST keep your Bandit?

I'd probably go for something like this: SV But I'd be left wondering if I should have bought a Gixxer!

probably a twin . I do like the 1000 sv /nostalgia wise a bonnie /or if aunty betty was loaded maybe a dyna harley

Easy .Aprilia Turono 03-05 . V2 ,power ,comfort ,Euro build (it is differant ) Light weight and that v2 SOUND .$20,000 new $7-8 s\hand .So good, i brought it back after a moment of madness and wrote in the shed above it" NOT FOR SALE "
Sorry to stuff this post but i win . I mean look at it . And ive been told its worth $0 with 60,000 kls .Yeah right .

What's the budget?

maybe if we bump old aunty betty off we could go a bit more up market with our purchases

I do like the SV1000's. But something like this 2002 SUZUKI Hayabusa will get me moving a bit quicker

Outside Aunty Betty's budget limit ($8,000) I'm afraid - but very nice if you could talk them down.

Yeah. The old: mate I've only got $8000 cash, here, right now

SV1000s or a VT1000 firestorm. Looking on the net $8000 is an awkward number. If its very interesting it's going to be older and therefore in more need of TLC. Otherwise you just don't have the budget.

09 ish GSXR750 for some fun on the track - JB Perfomance bikes get repairable write offs up and running quite cheaply. There was a good one at the track that the bird paid $7200 and just over $1000 to get it on the road.

Over budget, but was looking at this last night and thought it tasty,

At this point in time - 2 or 3 mini bikes for the kids and a big old chook chaser for me!

That Tuono is magic Gus.

I found the same bike.
It should be a crime to put a rack on them.

Correct.

Bonny T100 I just like a classic look bike for puttering around on.

That's easy, a Ducati 748.

The Ducati is in the price range but then you can't afford to run it cause they cost too much.
Would get this for a track toy with money for tyres and juice.

Well, that's not entirely true. My wife has a 750 Monster, and it's proven to be quite inexpensive to maintain and has never let her down. Although she doesn't use it as a daily ride and probably only does between 3000 and 7000km a year.

An R60/5.

when Norton finally reintroduce the rotary, thats what i`m get`n. They`ve currently got the 588 in race trim,and experimenting with an 700., me want the big one,about 210HP
