• What's the best bang for buck sportbike? I think I read somewhere that after a certain year sportbikes are just kind of the same with fancier electronics. Interested in trying one out this summer, used and sub 4k...

  • YZF750R? You could buy a nice one for 4k...

    As Chak said it does depend how fast you actually want to go... 600? 750? 1000?
    Do you have a marque preference?

    Funnily enough I have a list of bikes I want to own at some stage and Chak just listed them all below... specifically:

    • 1990 GSXR750 L
    • CBR954RR Fireblade
    • Tuono 660

    @Chak it could with a new set of tyres so I'll pitch for something a little bit more enduro-esque! I reckon it'll be getting a new exhaust anyway and possibly a less laid back handlebar but we'll see what he wants to do with it himself!

  • Revzilla took one to the Rockies with a Triumph. I think they did ok but were a bit useless off road, tyres are always the limiting factor though as they had quite close tread knobblies.

  • They were utterly fun. Really stable along the dirt roads I took it on. This was with slicks to boot.

    @Haggis is say 750 or a 100. I’ve had a go on a couple of 600’s and you gotta wrong their neck to hustle. The 750 was sublime. Lots of torque and you can cruise the gears.
    Comfortable too.
