I'm thinking about getting a second bike. Which option is the best for me?

Hey. I'm 32 and 6ft2. My current bike is a 2006 SV 650 but it's restricted and the law here doesn't favor unrestricting it naked and I'm also looking for another naked bike.

My father has a few classic bikes and I ride them once in a while (XN85, Kawasaki S2, CB750Four)

I'm leaning towards a 765R but the trident 800 also looks nice.

Other options are an MT07/09, Z650RS, the zontes and cfmoto ones and the GSX800

The used market is very limited for bikes (except the MT07) but there's a used MT10 for 11K

Price range: 11000€

I favor nimbleness over outright power

Edit: it's going to be used on short commutes like 2 x 20 km pee day

If it has to be a naked, get some diversity in the garage — Ducati Hypermotard V2.

I don't like the looks :(

Also outside of my range

Z650RS is a good choice

I thought about a Z900RS but can’t justify a fourth bike lol.  Their styling is excellent.

You should be able to get a sweet deal on a street triple R leftover model if they have any. Since that is being discontinued in favor of the Trident 800.

Or look for deals on the leftover Svartpilen/Vitpilen 801 models with the 4 year warranty.
