honda firestorm £3500 will get you a realy nice example realy easy to ride 120 miles to a tank 100bhp from a litre v twin capable of 150mph.
Did 2000 miles around france in 2 weeks on one of these, never missed a beat.
I bought a mint R plate with 9k miles on it for £1800 about 8 months ago to replace my way to fast for public roads 2004 cbr1000rr fireblade.
the vfrs hold their value well but many have interglactic mileage and you need to try one I test rode an 06 with vtech and abs and hated it, the power of the vtec cutting in like a snappy powervalved 2 stroke and the linked abs brakes eurggh
the yamaha fazer 1000 is also a good buy
