[quote=MattOz]Sold my HP4 early this year. Haven't bought anything else yet. Not sure what I want to be honest. Have thought about the following;

1. Early Fireblade. Anything 1997 or earlier. Naturally the very first bikes from 1992/3 command strong money
2. Suzuki GSX-R 1000 K5/K6/K7/K8. Have owned a K5 and K7 before, so a known quantity.
3. Ducati Hypermotard Evo. Never owned a Ducati, but quite fancy one of these. Might get bored too quickly?
4. Wait for a bit and save up for a Ducati V4 Speciale or similar.

Hmmm, after your hp4 an old Fireblade may not be a desirable as you remember. I tried one after my S1000RR. No abs, adaptive susp, traction, anti wheelie, heated grips. It wasn't as much fun as I remembered.

that is very true that is. revisiting your heroes can be a bad move (tl1000r)
