You've got five grand...

[Potter]

This one for me-

Good job it only has to be ridden on Sundays, gives me a chance to rebuild the motor each week

Yeah that's definitely a winner, I've always wanted one, I remember talking to Irie, he has two (or three I think).
I was in Guildford as well two weeks ago, good job I didn't see it advertised then, it could have been a spur of the moment bike that I lived to regret

[Screwdriver]

Easy that one.

Right up there in terms of funnest, most entertaining bikes you can buy. Proper grunt, proper laugh out loud in helmet.. Yes please.

If he won't drop the £500, i'll take this one and have a grand spare.

No argument here. I am currently looking at another one myself.

Problem is @Potter , it hits your requirements right on the head. Sunday morning hooning about, it will not serve any other purpose. It was the most single minded machine I have ever owned, I got mine with four owners and 1,900 miles on the clock!

Soon as I rode it, it was obvious why. It's not a transport device, it is more like a test or more precisely, a workout. The 2011 version is the most insane version, all titanium top end etc.

But we digress. I just spent the last hour flicking through an old thread "KTM Super 990R first ride" . 20 pages of mayhem as I had the disastrous fuelling remapped to perfection.

Précis on the bike: Hated it. Loved it. Hated it. Loved it. Loved it. Sold it.

Since I could theoretically buy any bike I want now, it made my list of potential extravagances but it would literally only ever be for the occasional blast. It is a demon bike. Only a confirmed lunatic would want to own one and while it is unquestionably the perfect machine for really shredding tarmac and destroying roads, working out your aggression etc., it is too highly strung and too single minded.



Damn. I'd lust LOVE to have a go on one right now though...

I always fancied a first gen RSV-R...

My current fancy is a BMW Boxer Cup but may struggle sub-5k, so possibly an R1100S.

Keep getting drawn to the R-E GT650 or Interceptor 650, guy across the road has just sold Triumph Street Twin and that also sparked an interest.

A Sunday morning bike isn't anything sporty for me anymore, just something to jump on and have a plod around the country roads. Next door has a Panigale as his Sunday morning ride, far too focused and all he seems to do is go to a breakfast meet on it.

I used to have a Gen 1 and a Gen 2 - despite the looks the Gen 1 is quite civilised and comfy to ride. A good shout......

If it was for me - something like one of these :

BUT - you've already got a classic for pottering - so I can't really help.

[Skub]

If you don't mind buying used,then the whole world is your lobster. (Rodney)

I sold my well sorted 10R for less than £4k and if you can't have fun on that on a sunny Sunday,then there's no help forya.


You'll also pick up some smaller capacity classic strokers for under £5k if you shop around.

It wasn't so long ago my bike buying budget was topped out around 4k and I've had some nice bikes. £5k is well doable.

[Taipan]

I could have a Sunday ride out on one of these...

Buy it, I'd like one, but I don't know if I'm brave enough to have another fragile Italian supermoto, I wonder if you could wedge an SV650 engine into one, it would be cheaper than constantly rebuilding the Aprillia engine.
Or buy it and limit the revs to 8000.

Id buy this and still have change.... yes, i know, im very predictable....

I've seen handlebars like that somewhere before, I'm sure...

£2 k on the bike and £3k on petrol to ride it

[Supermofo]

Same as Spin, probably the best answer is 2k for an sv650, 3k for petrol and goodies.

Although I'm too sensible for that so would buy a GSXS 750 instead. A 1000 if in budget but doubt they are for a decent one. I just love my bike at the moment and happy with the same/similar. Just a fab road bike

And it's uglier than something really ugly.

Yeah the cheaper ones are usually very leggy, but they also seem to wear the miles well in terms of finish which was one of the things that swayed me for mine. The fared one is challenging to look at too.

I've only ever seen one, it was seriously rocking the Suzuki Teapot look, but with a 21st Century twist.

[MyLittleStudPony]

The only bikes I've ridden for fun in recent years have been off roaders.

Maybe a Honda 300 Rally.
