Sneakypete wants bike...
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")...

Re: Sneakypete wants bike...
Did u forget that everyone will only either choose the 10 and if ur lucky 1 or 2 for the daytona 
I personally like the daytona for its looks but dont count on me for knowing how they ride and etc

Re: Sneakypete wants bike...
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.....

Re: Sneakypete wants bike...
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.
