Honda CBR900RR
£1250
Listed just above the £1000 marker, but things change when you drop a wad of twenties on the seller’s dining room table. Plus this bike needs a new output sha bearing (£350 for the assembly), so haggle. Elsewhere you get recent Maxton suspension, and a carbon-bre free-ow race exhaust that hits 98db in trackday noise testing. But don’t be afraid to walk away empty-handed.
