Cliffs:
Currently have a DR650 dual sport, and a 919 street bike. Good all around bikes for my intended usage, but a little boring. Want something with more character with a high grin-inducing factor, for <$6k.
All those bikes on that non-inclusive list I've seen within that budget range, granted older models (Super Duke 990, Hyper/Monster 1100/796/821, etc)
That Rivale 800 is sexy and would definitely fit the bill. But it is at the top end of my budget, and not sure on dealers nearby.
Put a few miles on a friend's FZ09, it was the first year, with really choppy throttle response and poor suspension. Wouldn't rule one out for a killer deal though.
Have a friend with a Super Duke 990 he offered to let me take for a spin. His isn't for sale, but he loves it.
Had a couple leads sent to me so far- couple Duke 690's, a 950SM, couple Street Triples, etc. Will send a couple PM's on here.
