Suzuki GSX R1000

Pros: flexible variable valve power, crisp handling, clever electronics. And £1500 less than the Honda as well. Cons: styling is a tad ‘oh’ rather than ‘ooh’, and you need the R version (£16k) for the best toys. Price: £13,739 otr. PCP deal: £2900 deposit, £151 for 36 months, final payment £7584. Total £15,914.
