So how much have you spent of your hard earned cash on you a bike. what was it and why did you buy it and spend that much?

Me:
Speed triple
Just under 8k not including the belly pan, flyscreen and seat cowl.

[Scottman]

£9128 on a brand new Honda Fireblade RRV, back in 1997!

Although I probably spent a further few thousand on various modifications and a paint job over the three years I had it. Prior to that I had bought a Suzuki Bandit 1200 new. (Think I paid around £5-6k for that??)
