My trust old FZS600 has over 100k miles and while it's still a great bike, it has had a rough past, and I am itching for a change.
I have been trawling For Sale section here, and googling rest of the interwebs so much that Google is now throwing CAPTCHAs at me! :rolleyes
My main use is to commute - 70 kms each way - half of it fast motorway and other half still mostly motorway but filtering / lane splitting. I have been reading up on NC750X/S (+frunk, +frugal, -fairing, -gutless?), FZ1S (+fun, -range, -mpg), FZS1000 (+great in everyway, -heavy, -ABS), VFR1200 (+quality, -cost, -issues), Tracer (+new, +great, -cost, -bars too wide for filtering) etc etc.
I can't really make up my mind - I could spend up to 10k euro MAX - ideally 4-5k (that is £7000k max, but prefer to spend around 3-4k sterling as I rack up miles and bikes will melt away with road salt and grime in winter).
I wondered what great wise foc-ers would recommend.. I realise that FZS1000 is a hot favorite here...
Cheers!
