Price seems very reasonable for less than 4K miles

have you considered any of the M1000 models? XR, R, RR

My friend just bought a brand new 2026 M1000R to replace his 2014 S1000R. He is currently having some buyer's remorse as the motor isn't as usable as his old S1000. We do a lot of touring on tight and technical backroads and he either has to ride 2 gears lower to keep it in the power or just have lackluster power with lower RPM. Hopefully a tune can help mitigate this.

I've never been much of a fan of nekkid bikes, but they've really stepped up their games. That Honda Hornet looks badass, but the Tuono V4 has always sung to me.

I'm liking the Fire Ranger edition

The M1000R’s look a bit better, but I’m still not in love with the bodywork. Also not REALLY looking for a high strung I4. There is a leftover ‘24 M at GBM that “saves” a few grand, but I don’t think it’s the bike I’m looking for.

I do definitely like the Hornet in spite of the I4, although I’m sure Honda makes it much more rideable than the bimmer. I think what I like most about the Hornet is the simplicity of it. Other than the stock silencer it’s just a clean naked bike.

Maybe this speedy will increase in value like the Ducati 1000 L E - Paul Smart did . .
