I would probably keep my old SV as a track bike and have my racebike too.

but still....its tempting....

“Bro ABS is for pussies, real Aplhas use skill”

Jokes aside, I thought almost all 2017 models would come with ABS. How about naked bikes? This comes with ABS. I love the Z and the Fz series from Yamaha.

I’m trying to move away from a 650. 650 is like my current bike.

and no, suzuki is the LAST one you can get without ABS (and even on the Kawi its an option...but its there)

VFR. Pretty fast, handles pretty good for a fatty pretend sport bike, seriously comfortable, designed to carry weight if you wanna put boxes on it, can be had with ABS, CHEAP, and you can get one with VTEC, yo.

Ah. Given your post about keeping a race bike and the SV is also a jack-of-all-trades bike too, I was under the impression you were looking for a decent everyday bike.

Lightly used Tuono V4s are advertised for $11k. Leftover ‘16 / ‘17 models not much more than that.

They’re better in every way relative to a ZX6, from street manners to losing your license to picking up babes (or dudes).

The correct answer is a Triumph Daytona 675. Sell your body, if need be, until you have acquired the necessary funds.

yea. with the intro of the 765 CC street triple, they axed the Daytona from the line up

Maybe it will come back as a 765 or even a 1090. but for now, they are gone from our showrooms, but not from our hearts

Idk. Honestly get something upright for the street. I know I’m now, Mr. Track Only bro, but god my Daytona SUCKED on the street. Plus, they are speeding ticket magnets. Just realize, they only way to enjoy the powerband of a 600cc bike is while speeding (i.e. the Daytona does 80mph in first gear). Hence how I got my speeding ticket for a 104 in a 50!

Get something with a single handlebar, and non peaky piwer. That’s really all I have to say.

I thought about it and honestly? not for me.

I like the screamer motor. yes yes, i’m 23 and think I’m invincible, I know. I’ve had my comfy street bike already. I want something dumb. I’m not going to afford a sports car anytime soon. Might as well get this and enjoy it in my youth while I can.

I also want over 100HP and the ability to do the dankest whoolies.

also, lets be real. there is VERY little that can match a 4-pot 600 screaming to redline in terms of noise.
