Hayabusa would be my choice.

[40something]

Triumph Tiger used would be a good one also along with a Sprint ST

FWIW:

FZ1
Bandit 1200
VFR
Sprint ST
SV1000
Honda 919
Busa (5-6 grand could get you a nice '03 - '05 one)

Or maybe a nice low mileage '99.

I know where you can one real cheap.
Upgraded speedo, too!

But he mentioned wanting fuel injection, which would rule out I believe all but the last couple years of the Blackbird, all the Katanas and I believe Bandits, the 80's and 90's FZ's. Kawi's first bike with efi wasl the 2000 ZX12R.

I missed the EFI part and may disclaimer was that was where my taste is. His request was pretty non-specific. To me, I can live without the F/I, the beginning of power is liquid cooled.

Tgbot, I like the FZ-1 or VFR800. This FZ-1 is pretty sweet too ....

Put em together and BAM! Awesome bike status achieved, well...the 650F maybe not...

F/I and liquid cooling are a phenomenal pair, of course until something goes wrong, then it's a PITA.

Same motor. Similar options... almost the same wiring harness... slightly different ride.

Come on now, I saw a couple 06s last year when I was looking, which were just a little over that range. 06 seemed to have been a high production volume year with low sales for the Sprint, as there were a number of new 06s that hit the showroom floors in the middle of 07.

And VFR, I see the 6th gen bikes all over the place for sale.

You must live in an awesome part of the country then. I would have probably bought a VFR last year if I could have found one.

That's what I'm saying. I've never seen one in person nor heard of one anywhere near me. Never seen one on craigslist here either. I think the Northeast US gets a lot more bikes that we dont see out here becuase of the population difference.

Honda Dealers couldn't even get them new here last year. Apparently Honda has some crazy scheme were dealers get the right to more bikes when they sell out of the current stock. Cali dealers get them right off the boat, and move them quickly... while east coast dealers are waiting for trucks to arrive.

easy there...

I'd either go with a busa or a blackbird

[thetable]

As to the VFRs, there were two 6g within 10 miles of work for sale and another two for sale within 50 miles. I ended up passing on them primarily because they just didn't excite me like the buell did. Last time I was in the local Honda shop, there were two on the floor. But I do see why they don't allocate many for this coast, the shop in manassas was still sitting on a new 07 last time I was in there.

Was that 07 an anniversary bike they marked up $3K?
