Hello Everyone! :afm199
After placing a deposit and ordering my 2017 GSXR1000R, the local dealership has had two delays in shipment date. Initially the bike was said to have arrived by May. At this point they are claiming late June. Being that I sold my commuter to prepare for their initial delivery timeline, I am now without a bike and blowing money on fuel. To stay occupied I'd like to either bench race and distract myself, or actually buy something else to vote with my $$ as they say. I'm fairly bummed about Suzuki's lack of care regarding the delivery timeline. My ideal alternatives are buying new from another brand or a low mileage Bking or Hayabusa. Due to laziness and a long commute, I am uninterested in anything that is not excruciatingly fast. Please keep this in mind when making suggestions. If I want to go have fun and go slow I have my MR50 to play on... :ride
So far I have considered:
S1000RR
K1300R (a bit too heavy, otherwise looks acceptable)
ZX14 (used or new old stock, all new options have that nasty Kawasaki green on them)
FZ10 (butt ugly, I like the specs but hate the appearance)
GSXS1000S (ugly, but I have a dead 06 Gsxr1000 to swap performance parts from)
Hayabusa (heavy, epic reliability, great for super slabbing)
BKing (rare enough to require shipping, but otherwise seems awesome)
So, fellow barfers, let the debate begin. I am considering just waiting it out, but I'm going crazy without a bike. What would you do? I appreciate all input. I also have whats left of my 03 Bandit I could rebuild, but that would be more of the same "boring" flexy frame bike I've been riding for 40,000 miles or so...
