Had this for 3 years and she has just snicked over 12,000 miles - sometimes think I should sell but I don't think I can as I have had it from 5,500 miles and treated it very well.

So if I keep it, what do I get to go with it up to £3,500 or so?

I have the touring bike covered with Blackbird so what else do you get when you have no real requirements other than reliability (not a supersports bike though). Thought of a big single (XT660), perhaps a Triumph Cruiser and fancy a Moto Guzzi for some reason.

I'd go with the Yamaha personally or would a KTM slip in at that budget?

Should have mentioned that I have the car side of things covered!

Holeshot or TTS do or used to do turbo conversions for blackbirds.

Turbo bikes are fun smile

I will zip up the man suit and don the flame retardant pants and say that I think the BB has enough power for me - a turbo conversion must be out of this world!

Would it be too 300bhp/ton of me to suggest a Ducati 916? There seem to be a few floating around for close to budget biggrin

I guess everybody should owna Duke at some stage in their lives but a 916 at present is not for me.
