Tamiya Bike Kit Recommendation

Would anybody like to recommend a MODERN kit for me to do next. I've done loads of old Tamiya bike kits both back in the 80's when I was model making first time around and now that I've got back into the hobby. BUT I've not done a modern tooled one.
So can anybody suggest a nice one to do, it can be road or race spec as long as it's a bit of a challenge and doesn't break the bank account something around the £40 mark would be great.

I suggest the yamaha m1 09 bike with tamiya extras - metal forks add on and hoses, if you can stretch budget a bit get the "Doctor" figure Valentino really makes it look good too.

Thanx for the suggestions guys.
I've seen both of those and thought about them.
I am going to do this one too!

I did this back in the day when I was maybe 18/22 somewhere around there, can't remember the exact time, and my Dad still has it in his display case of bike models and diecast. So I wanted to do it again to see if I can do the paintjob and decals any better now than I did way back then with just a paintbrush for the paint and warm water for the decals.

The Tamiya Repsol Honda RC213V (14) is also a nice build and looks very nice.

I can see me ending up doing all these.
