Sneakypete wants bike...

Post by sneakypete »

ok, so i am back in the market for 2 wheels again (thank the gods!!) and even with a "blessing" from "she-who-must-be-obeyed!!"

budget is approx 9-12k and i have narrowed my choice down to those listed.

i would be interested to hear your thoughts on why i should choose a particular bike... cos i am umming and ahhh-ing, i would love to hear pros n cons... and yes, i know these bikes may well eat my licence.

(this does require you to take off the "kawasaki" hat and be objective")...

over to you...

1993 Honda CBR600

2005 Kawasaki Z1000

Did u forget that everyone will only either choose the 10 and if ur lucky 1 or 2 for the daytona :P

I personally like the daytona for its looks but dont count on me for knowing how they ride and etc :lol: :kuda:

Well if you want us to talk to you again....the Crim

I think your aiming too low with your models mate. For 9-12k you'll get a Bug I reckon, Crims will be under 9 these days.

The 675 Daytona though would be tempting. Go Bike shopping mate and ride them all.....

I've ridden a Crim and it was a nice ride. I'd have to ride the others first before I could make the call thou.. But I voted for the 675 purely on looks and exhaust note... hmm sexy 3cly action.
