talk me out of it ...
I think if you want to try something else then go for it. Fact of the matter is the s1k is arguably the best bike in its class so you are unlikely to be moving up to something better. You can always get another bmw when you find that out.
From what I can gather from the comments made by MacRR on the other thread, he wanted a newish bike but due to budget wasnt able to hold out for the ‘19 bike so bought some jap crap instead, so you could always downgrade and do something like that. Lol.....
Lol :boxing: ! Hmm, don't remember saying I couldn't afford it Andy I was merely explaining my rationale :wink-new:
Personally as you have a low mileage Gen 3 I think it would be wise to wait one more year and see what the 19 model S1K is like.
What other manufactures are you considering, specially?
Not the RF but I liked the Tuono Factory I took out, just not enough to swap the S1K for one, some big discounts available on RF's and GSXRs as you say - and blades for that matter - has anyone anywhere bought one of those?! dealers seem to be giving them away...
The two on my shortlist to replace my current bike are the 2019 S1000RR or the new GSX-R1000R. Like you I'm currently in no rush but I will be changing in 2019.
'19 model prob won't be out til April/May , expect it to be expensive and current models will see a drop in price as usual before a new one's released.
There are some good deals on pre-reg bikes around, haven't ruled out the gay gixxer and keep going back to the RSV4 RF. Although not tried it yet it won't drop in price as a result of the new BM. It's a bit small (as most are) for my 6'2" frame but don't do so many road miles nowadays as have the zed for that. R1's are good but too many mates have them lol. Ducati, well, let's just say no....ZX10 never been a lover and appears a lot needs changing to get them right.
So, may just test the water regarding mine, I know it's wrong time of year but I'm in no rush, I'm not desperate, just lack of space.
:hopelessness:
Pani V4 is deff my next
