With the advent of electronics and near-200bhp power outputs, it's easy to forget just how good the sports bikes of 2005 were.
They had huge power - up to 160bhp - yet were tractable in the midrange, were designed to accomodate regular-sized human beings and didn't electronically slap your wrist if you pulled a cheeky wheelie.
The best bit is that now they can be yours for under £5000 - less than half the price of today's computer-controlled rocket ships. Find a sports bike for sale. But how well have they aged? And do they still offer the thrills they did back in 2005?
