Bikes like GS but...

Yeah, I was thinking fz-6 for undertail.  Oh well.  Anyway, er6n, fz1, z1000, and fz6 are my top choices.   I don't like the style of teh z750s because it looks long and awkward compared to the rest.  I love the z1000 for looks but it gets crap mileage and eats rear tires like its going out of style.  Its a 190 tire I believe too and spendy to replace.  You may want to check out the 996 superhawk.  Cheap bikes initially, gobs of power, great handling, and can be made into a streetfighter easily with a few mods.  The down side is that they're crap on mileage too with maybe high 30's for MPG.  You can pick up a close to new one for sub 4k easily.

SV1K, more specifically my SV1K with 1700 miles ... yea 1700, 17 hundred ... 5K. Light mods, cored pipes and that about it.

The rest is all crap.

Cool.

I have a GSR600 as well as the GS500F. Same engine as the GSX-R 600 but retuned for more low/midrange. Very nice bike. Very similar riding position to the GS but this bike actually has some power (98hp).

I don't think they sell the gsr600 in the US.  Danggit.

LOL - thanks. It's even better now, put a new exhaust on it at the weekend and a few other little mods (screen, radiator cover, mirror extenders).
