@ZYBORG did you have an amount in mind? That might also help narrow it down a little bit I reckon. In regards to new, or older as far as years.
Yeah man, I’d say a lot of them have changed drastically as far as technology goes. GSX-R have come a long way too. I rode a few of those. The 750 was my favorite. It felt just right honestly, the 1000 the handlebar position was a bit much. As is my R1, they’re way too far down, granted they’re meant to be leaned on the entire time. That’s why I’d recommend a Kawasaki 636, or even a CBR600RR.
From my take on my buddies 08 R6 Raven it was nice, it just felt heavy in the bars around parking lots. I only rode it a handful of times when we would trade a traffic lights and such.
More recently I enjoy my brother in laws Aprillia Tuono V4 Factory, I know it’s Italian. However it’s a nice bike, but generates so much heat at lights between your legs.

Not really. This is a question individual to each poster.
I am asking YOU, what the “best bang for the buck” for you is. What would you buy today? Perhaps a 2024 ZX10-R? Perhaps you think your money is best spent on a older gen R1? Etc.
I like his YouTube channel, dude cuts right to the chase with mods, tuning and dyno results… dude can ****ing ride tooIf it were me I’d honestly say that the new GSX-R 1000’s are doing work. I’ve seen Chris Moore the owner of Moore Mafia. He tunes these bikes, and does impressive numbers with them. Reliability checks out great on them too as far as I’ve seen.
My 2004 CBR600 has 71k miles on it, and runs like a top. Fork seals are an issue due to wheelies and such. My brother is an animal with it.
Yeah man, his grudge matches crack me up. Him and big country.I like his YouTube channel, dude cuts right to the chase with mods, tuning and dyno results… dude can ****ing ride too
What are you going to be using it for? Deals Gap? Straight aways? Just Cruizing? Your Height?
If I were to go liter, it would in all probability be a 2009 and up R1.. Love that crossplane sound, nasty nasty bike. A ZX-10R would be in the discussion too.

An NSR500. The GOAT
05-06 ninja 636 is considered one of the fastest, best handling, and reliable of all time. I had on back in 05. Nice bike price $5-6k.
08 -10 Gsxr 750 is what I would pick up for a middle weight bike. Great brakes and suspension. You can get one for $7-8k. You can't add $2k worth of mods to a 600 to make up the hp difference.
Ultimate track bike Triumph Daytona 765 rs. Full Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes for about $10k used. They are supposed to be pretty uncomfortable.
