What would you buy?

You have £3500 to spend on a modern classic. Must be registered before 1995 and be fun around a circuit.

Must be as original as possible.

What do you buy and why?

Have to add it must be realistic (ie available with minimal to moderate effort) and not like hens teeth.

Early Blade, EXUP, slab sided GSXR?

GSXR/YZF/ZXR750 I reckon. Bit of cash for a good going over for bearings, brakes and rubber and you'd have a bit of a laugh I reckon.

Have to say one of those bikes is on my eBay watch list already Dan.

Not sure I want a two stroke.

I'm struggling to find a decent YZF.

old Norton possibly

All the ones folks have said, early blade, zxr,yzf etc...... but id throw a Ducati 748 and an SP1 into the hat for consideration and also purely bercause i think they look cool maybe a Benelli Tornado?

edit, forget the sp1, didnt read the post propperly post 95 doh!

748 is still a contender though

The reason for 1995 is I'm after something to join the classic trackdays events with. I might be able to sell that to the missus as they have much smaller groups and very stringent on track etiquette rules.

I do hate it when things need to be approved by the missus....

The YZF750 would be the one I would search out.
