I've decided that even though my CB1000R can hold its own on the track, it's time I got something that is more naturally suited to our local tracks.
I'm a dedicated Honda fanboi, so I'm thinking about getting a CBR1000RR
The CBR1000rr has had a bunch of incremental updates over time, so *logically*, the newer models are better. I fancy adding one to my garage, but the 2017 model is not in my price range.
Is there a conventional wisdom on which are the best models for fastish road and track-day use? Especially in terms of bang for buck and access to general upgrades (suspension, exhaust, brakes)
I'm seeing many available for sale, including some stonking deals on 2015 "new" models in dealers, but I don't see much advantage in spending 13k when 6k plus suspension upgrades might give me the same real world performance.
Advice please? Especially if you have real world experience.
