Sorry Tunnie, but yes it is very wrong to spend that amount of cash on german machine  Now a good motocrosser and then it would be fine.

You've ridden about 3 bikes in your lifetime.  If you still feel the same in 2yrs, then go for it.

Your getting the idea Tunnie,

[Mr Skrunts]

£10,000 for a bike from a house deposit fund that earns interest on a bike that will allways depreciate, and for what, your second bike, why a bike that costs 10K? when a bike costing 5K will do the same job.

nicked or dropped or resale it will never be worth £10,000

I want something that eats the miles up. Given my height a lot of bikes are too small.

[HolyCount]

I would say ... if you want to spend 10K on a bike, go for it. 'Tis your hard earned after all. However, the advice above is still valid.

I am not at all knowledgable about bikes ( but won't let that stop me!) .... that is one butt ugly machine  ..... with that budget, there must be better !!!

But 'tis your choice, not ours

To spend 10k on a bike 

Yes. Buy a car.

Yes. Buy a car.

Show me a car that does 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, does 50mpg, comfy as a range rover, and can go off road? For 10k 

Worked out i would need about 7k on Fiance, i might actually be able to make a profit on my current bike 

Despite my reputation here for being a student, i work hard for my money. I did not do well at school my highest grade was a C in Business Studies.

I now earn £250 a day, and got a possible second contract at £320 a day. So quite chuffed about things at the moment.

I don't spend my money, I don't go out clubbing / drinking, i don't smoke, and don't waste my money in a pub.

With my new job at Sky starting soon, this will be a little present to myself. I will be able to use to to commute as well. (something i can't do with my current bike)

Father Tunnie works in the Isle of Man and has an apartment out there, with my 3 days on 3 days off rota at Sky, i fancy taking a ride up there and going around the mountain roads.  Also thinking of working longer stints in a row, and maybe riding to places like Norway. Benefit of the GS is the huge storage, which would allow me to go camping while touring on it.
