New bike time
 

Right oh might org.
I haven't had a bike since February!! Longest year of my life.
Budget £2500

What to get??
Sv hurt my back, so thinking not so sports bikes.

Looking at Z750 and Er6 at moment.

Any suggestions?

Re: New bike time
 

First question: What do you want the bike for? Touring, weekend blast, knee down, 2 up . . . .
Yes, most bikes will do all that with a compromise in each area. May as well get one that is tailored to your 'spec' before it before buying.

on the budget the z750 you'd be looking at is pants IMO, I had ago on one and found the suspension just as crappy as the SV's and underpowered.

That was just my opinion though.

What the gsx650f's like?

Don't know what type of bike I want.
It'll be mainly for ride outs, fun. Maybe odd trip to Cornwall and occasional commute on sunny days to college.
As I've got my car for cold wet weather.

Classic lines and great mpg ;)

How about the Triumph TT600? 108 bhp, 155 mph, great brakes and handling!

Too old and ugly...
Like newer bikes.
The fz6 look good.

Too many choices

Dunno if your budget could get you a triumph street triple, great little bike and pretty quick too.
Versys are good budget bikes too, nice riding position so be better for your back.
