There getting on a bit,for all of us.
Whats out there to replace them though?I for one would like something a bit "Newer" not the 18 year old Bike i religiously look after................

Comments awaiting

 

Depends how much cash you have........................
I'm not prepared to go into debt for a new 1200VFR, so in the second hand market, mine would probably be a Blackbird or (God help me) a Hayabusa.......................
And mine turned 21 in January, but like any girl she always wants something................

 

mine would be a blackbird.second choice a bmw k1200rs or gt.

 

I think a nice replacement for relatively short money might be a ZZR1200 (not sure if this US designation matches up in the EU or elsewhere). this bike wasn't made for long, but it's a solid S/t bike (meaning, s/t with emphasis on sport imo, as opposed to an FJR or whatever). They didn't sell all that well here, and can be had at a pretty reasonable price. There was even a factory hard-bag option.

 

That is a good bike, DDT. Our president had one, and I did a couple of runs on it - has a few more ponies than the Hurri, but not a bad machine at all, at all. Service costs at the stealership are wicked on the ZZR..........

 

The only good options are blackbird (cbr1100xx), zzr1200, busa

 

Rob, you could just upgrade to a newer 1000F. lol...
It would buy you 7 more years if you got a '99.

 

No love for the CBF1000? A friend of mine got one a few months back and loves it. He upgraded from a mid-80s Nighthawk 750

 

Funny one there Dylan, as Pete says ........a Busa would be "enlightening"
ya'd just need some serious stones for it....I reckon it would be all s though

 

Gotta go Busa. I'm telling you guys who have not had the pleasure of riding the most wicked speed monster, it's a ****in blast.
