WTB Sport bike, or Sport tourer... Or a naked bike?

[accel_is_my_drug]

My deal on the last two bikes I was looking at fell through. I'm back to square one and looking again. I don't think I acted fast enough....

I am replacing my 1997 VFR750, which was nearly perfect, but I am hoping for something with a bit more power, and perhaps a little more sporty handling.

I wouldn't mind sticking on a Honda, they have always been good to me, but I am open to nearly anything else.

I would like to have:

Cost around $4500, +/- $500.

Fuel Injection preferred

lower miles the better.

Any ideas? Help!

FZ6 or FZ1.

or Kawasaki Z1000

???

I thought I decided on a FZ1, but the deal fell through.. I would also consider as SV1, or another VFR, or something naked, or the newest gen CBR600....damn near anything right now....

Since you already found your vfr nearly perfect, why not just stick with that but get one of the newer generation ones. here's one in your price range: http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/mcy/2486801501.html

2004 vfr, ~19k miles, probably could be haggled down to 4500.

eh better deals can be had. I got my 05 with a bunch of mods and 3k miles for only a few hundred bucks more

Aprilia Falco or Tuono. Chicks will dig you then too.

Good luck with the hunt.

Buy whatever you find a good deal on that you like...

I had a 2003 CBR954RR for sale, still do, but it's in Virginia now. Definitely not a touring bike but it has the power, handling, and sporty look!

Go naked.

[cfd37buckeye]

Have a co worker trying to sell a newer FZ1 with a few add ons. I think he wants around $7k. It is extra clean and well taken care of. Call him and see what he will take. His name is Joe. 740 680 6224

[accel_is_my_drug]

$7K is way too much for me right now.

5K is the absolute upper limit of what I can get away with.

And to spend 5K I really need to love this bike.. Like an RC51 or something...

HAHA PRICE? Condition?

Never down, 2nd owner, I bought with less than 400 miles, 2 bros. slip ons, frame & axle sliders, air pump removed, flush mount blinkers up front, gear indicator with TRE, and rear fender eliminator $5K...1216 miles.

Like an idiot I borrowed money against it for last Christmas, so the title will take a few days to get.
