    What bike i'm gonna get this year, all these stories of the BMW S1000RR
    gearbos woes & other problems make me shudder at nearly £13k

    I am gonna set myself a max budget of £3k

    I fancy summat different, but will still be great on fast road & very fast
    track...

    Surely you're not going to own it long enough for the warranty to run out?
    Shame you just missed this, what with your budget:-

    I thought you'd already ordered one and were simply waiting for delivery?
    That's in Thundercrack territory then.
    For 3 grand?

    Looking long & hard at it, i could just about afford to buy a very expensive
    bike, but i would rather spend the money on the family, save some & have
    some money left over.

    Coupled with the horror stories, i cant be fucked with it.

    Might just buy a K3 thou...

    3K buys a nice GSXR1000K3/4 if you search around

    Haven't they just been subject to a massive recall?

    Hmm. Think you'd want a greyhound, or possibly two in parallel harness
    and a special lightweight racing wheelbarrow to boot. With somewhere
    for Nige to put the inevitable tail tidy and LED indicators, obviously.

    It'd be the only wheelbarrow in the whole o't Yorkshire wi' rim tape
    on't wheel!

    Indeed not, but you said you wanted something different and a Gixxer isn't
    something different as you've had one before.

    ?

    the original carbed Mad R1
    certainly not as smooth as the inj model you had.
    Big stick needed to tame the beast

    Hey Nige **** the 3k limit. Buy this quick before it goes. You won't regret
    it.
    That's the first I've seen for sale in 2 years. If I hadn't just spent a wad
    on mine I'd have it tomorrow. This is the update model like mine but with
    the high performance ABS system which was a peach by all accounts.
