Thanks for the advice guys, I visited superbike factory today to sit on various bikes and found the gsxs1000 as really nice fit, now looking for a good deal. I am also test riding an mt07 next weekend. I just can't commit to what I want in my budget. The hornet has been great and just looking for something that doesn't require tweaking every few rides. The hornet requires carburettor maintenance regularly (probably my fault for intermittent use). And also I want a smoother ride as the power band on the hornet is just not right to stay in the speed limits.
