Obviously the performance stand point but i have no interest in high speed, you have a 50/50 chance of not being here every time you hammer it. Na Bikes for me are about vintage & the sheer please or riding on an open road at safe speed.

Me too, hence my preference for the Triumph, which would be ideal for that purpose. But I totally understand why proper bikers wouldn't entertain such, and would want something such as Jon's Ninja.

I also like the Benelli Imperiale 400: https://unitedkingdom.benelli.com/product/imperiale-400

Something different/unusual/off-the-wall, so you're not riding the same (homogenised/designed by computer) thing on two wheels as every other fucker! I also feel the same about most modern cars:)

I like something that shouts: 'I'm an individual and not part of the crowd'.....

Marco.

nice vertical bike... i'd ride that :eyebrows:

I also LOVE this, Moto Guzzi V7 III Special:

Yeah, but more 'cafe' than 'racer' though... 70% café, 5% racing, 25% toilet visits I would estimate :) Foodie first and foremost, followed by bog botherer. racing a distant 3rd

I’d love a brand new bike, but with the cash i have (11K, i don’t do loans) theres little out there of interest.
I’ve looked at Z900’s, Z1000’s, GSX-S1000’s and street triple’s etc and they’re all as dull as ditch water.
And yes, some have fancy electronics and even Bluetooth connectivity, but if one needs Bluetooth on a bike whilst riding then one is missing the point by a fucking country mile somehow imo.
But until i sell her (when clean) the old girl still looks fairly good..

Jon, what you want is a lightweight frame by Harris or whoever's doing them these days, and stick a CBX1000 engine in it. Cool beyond words ;)
