Not sure what to do.

But also Stevie, I notice that many of your bikes were what might be considered as commuters. For me, biking is first and foremost about fun. 

I totally agree with you nick. Hence why I have the luxury of two bikes and have done for the last decade.  A commuter (t'cat/gs/sv/fazer) and a play bike (fz1/R1)
I have to compromise though by not having a car.
If you 'need' anything quicker than a litre bike on the road, then you seriously need to get into racing!
