[Chadatious 0]

And Nah want change from bandit. Something more modern

[stantheman 0]

[stantheman 0]

[Chadatious 0]

Nah look like tourer want something sportier

[stantheman 0]

z 1000 is very nice i had one when i was your age but theyve changed a lot since then

[Chadatious 0]

Yeh that or naked fz1. Like cb1000, has the sssa etc but bit pricey lol

If your after a Vtwin go jap they are cheap & reliable. Also Buel is out of business & I believe HD will only support them for another 8-10 years.

If you do get one put it in a box & leave it there. May be worth a bob or 2 as a classic in the future.

Have been said to be like 'riding a tractor'

Although youd probs get a better resale on a John Deere lol! Having said that, i love the look and and sound of them!

depends what you get, the newer top spec models will more then hold up there end in terms of power and handling and would embarress a bandit with simler rider. but its truw what they say about reliabilty, lack of dealer aide and there a bitch to sell on because of this rep.

good question, harley did completely drop them but i think the race team is still operating and there is still a small amount of production .

get the tuono its the closest thing to a naked superbike out there, even runs the same gearing as the old rsv. loads of poke but has a good set of comfy bars and has a massive amount of potential for further tuning using the parts from the rsvr. just gotta sort out the crappy airbox on it.

Buel ceased production last year. As said before HD are supplying parts but that will also cease sometime in the near future. Check this site:
