I have just read in MCN that the new CBR600RR that is returning to the UK is starting at £10,499 !
If you do buy one you'll be glad you're where you are and didn't stay in Australia as the CBR600RR is over $29,000 in Australia! Or around £15,499.....rodericb said:

The problem with modern Litre bikes is you have to ride around trying to keep the speed down, the 600 can be ridden harder and enjoyed (they still go very quickly) I just bought a GSXR600 with 2000 miles on it 2012 for that very reason, it is so much fun to red line it. The S1000RR I tried did over 100 mph on the redline in 1st gear.

Pretty much any 600cc sports bike from 2004/05 onwards is more than enough for the road. I've never understood the clamber for a litre bike for road use especially with the state of the roads we have. They can only really be fully enjoyed on the track.

Bikes do seem to have got pretty expensive but if this CBR is £11k then that is a big chunk cheaper than the S1000RR I tried, they were about 16k to 18k with the nice spec.
I always found them a bit puny. Sound like you’re really motoring but you’re not really until the revs are right up there. I suppose quite enjoyable. But after a while with a thousand you get used to the low and mid range power being so effortless, so I’d go a 1000 again given the choice.

The old story of 'mine is bigger than yours' I expect Well I have bitten the bullet and put a deposit down for one in Red!
Expected to arrive in June / July. The demos should be in the UK by the start of May, and the deposit is refundable if I test ride the demo and change my mind. Apparently there are only 130 coming to the UK for sale in 2024 (plus 70 demo bikes that will be on the market some time next year)
From talking to a couple of dealers they have proven surprisingly popular so far!

I am interested but not really in a position to put down a deposit. I plan on checking out quite a few different bikes when we move back to the U.K. later in the year. Head says there are better options but it does look good. Expected to arrive in June / July.

That's a bloody good price nowadays!
I bought my Daytona 675R in 2014, 2 years old, basically no miles, for £8k.. Brand new ones, mostly on finance deals which I did briefly weigh up, were £10k!
To be fair they came with factory Ohlins suspension, Brembo's, q/s and an arrow end can on the last of the 2012's which would be your bike. The standard was a good few K cheaper.
