For you sir, £9995. Cheap as chips.

You know, that's a perfectly reasonable price. How many did Suzuki make.? It wasn't many, and how many are left. It's cheaper than all the current litre sports bikes and will only go up in value. Unless you ride it. Is that the zero miles job?Oh, and a CBX1000 and an NR750.... if only Honda sold RC211Vs, I'd have one of those too.
Thanks for the considered responses guys - and the not so I'm beginning to think I shouldn't go down the FZ1 route - its not gonna fit the bill, too sport focused and with different characteristics to what I'm looking for. However the prices being asked for low mileage examples are tempting when compared to same year Speed Triples - Ebay dealers have them with 5-6k miles for up to £1500 less and that's hard to resist, the savings could be channeled into add ons like gel seat etc Just want to avoid moving on only to return to Fazer ownership - but with a bike that needs all the things I've had done to mine that gets me back to where I am now. That's a long way round simply to stand still - but the grass is always greener. I'm liking the thought of 2 bikes (I did have an old Sprint as well for a while) and invest in upgrades for the old girl. But I'm already running two cars and am sure the DVLA would be more than happy to increase its tax rake. The nephew may be coming back to biking so maybe we could invest in something other than the R6 he was after (over 6 feet & looking at a pocket rocket ffs ) maybe a Street triple. If I can make him see sense that might be the way forward.

Everything I've read about the Street Triple has been full of praise for it, major grin factor - I'd love to try one, but I'd be worried that at 6' 2'' I'd just be too cramped on one. But, see, that's where if you could have it as a 2nd bike it wouldn't matter so much if you didn't get on with it. Just trade it for something else.

Test rode one recently and tried really hard to convince myself it was possible. It really is fun but no way I could ride this bike on a regular basis. Actually took it back half way through the hour I was allowed because bits of my anatomy were starting to hurt
