So now what? (what to buy)

[Jason08]

Resurrecting an old thread because I think theres some good input to be had in this forum (especially interested to hear from G).

I was involved in a motorcycle accident yesterday, commuting home from work. I'm okay, just a little banged up - no broken bones or major injuries. I wasn't at-fault in the accident, and a police “incident report” was filed. Basically some idiot cut across a median to exit Rt. 50 onto Gallows Rd. while I was on the exit and ran me down side ways. The guy was only issued a “failure to pay attention” ticket. Anyways, I’m sure the bike is going to be totaled.

I was riding a mint 04 Honda RC51 Nicky Hayden edition. I really enjoyed that bike, but I’m looking to get some thing different this time around.

I’m considering:
-2012-14 Ducati 1199
-Ducati 899
-09+ Honda CBR1000rr
-Aprilia RSV4
-BMW S1000rr
-Kawasaki ZX-10r

ABS and traction control are two features I’d like to have on my next bike

I’ve never ridden most of the bikes on this list, and its hard to speculate based on what you read on the interwebs that’s written by a bunch of strangers, so if anyone has any input or any other ideas on other bikes to consider please chime in.
