  • I've got a really bad itch for a sportsbike.

    I don't really want a bad out of hell litre bike, because too fast. We'll I'd love a fireblade, but I know what I'm like.

    Gsxr 750. Anything else I should look at?
    I am 6'1 with long legs!
    Want something affordable, so I can take it to the track and ride it there. Maybe a bit of project.

  • Aprilia RS4 with a really loud aftermarket exhaust?

    All the show but without the go :p

    A more serious answer is something like a CBR600RRRR. From what I've seen they seem to be relatively inexpensive.

  • Plenty of supersports that have been used as track bikes to be picked up cheap on eBay. Japanese ones haven't been updated meaningfully in the last 8 years so spare parts are cheap and available for when you crash it.

  • KTM RC8's are a bit bigger than your average sportsbike too - but discontinued and not produced for long so would be expensive to repair

  • Yam R6?
    I'm 6'6" and have sat on one (not ridden it in anger though) and it seems roomy enough.

  • Gsxr 750 is a bit of meh bike, either a decent 6 or go for the 1000.
