What bike is most tempting you?
Discussion
Mostly wanting a xvs1100 today.
Lose all the bags and overblown mudguards and lardy seat, add a pair of cut down guards and a smaller seat, LED rear light, chop down and wrap the pipes, and fit drag bars.
Thing is even an old miley entry bike is 3 grand and then you need to mod it and paint it (without too many airbrushed skulls though thx).
It’s not a bike you’d want if it was your only one but infancy a bit of low cost blub blub blub blub.

I am in Australia. There are no interesting bikes for sale. When I say interesting, I'm meaning sports bikes of the 1990's. The most commonly used website here is bikesales.com.au. It's like they've simply disappeared.
I lived in Australia (Victoria) for 7 years. I owned a road bike for a couple of weeks before selling it. I bought a road legal off-road bike. It was a great idea. Have you thought about something for the dirt?I am in Australia. There are no interesting bikes for sale. When I say interesting, I'm meaning sports bikes of the 1990's.

Really tempted by an R6 to tick the sports bike thing off the list.
Passed this year and have been riding a Cbr650f which is plenty fun(especially for a newer rider) and accessible, easy to ride and comfy.
Planning for next year feel like a 600 sports bike with slightly more power and a different style is the way forward.
Also keep looking at daytona 675s for a bit more character and maybe an 899.
Plenty of time to decide but money is so cheap at the moment it's hard to resist although the party is pooped obviously by the insurance quotes...
