Buy a used Streetfighter

Want a bargain? Go for the previous 1098 V-twin model – not as refined as the new V4, but bonkers to ride. From £7500 You’re more likely to find an S model, so check the seals on the Öhlins forks – they’re fond of leaking. Watch for the plastic tank expanding. Water gets in the swingarm, causing the hub to seize.

Get the 848 model for extra agility.
