Time for a change
 
goood evening all.
i have now decided to change bikes, 1 reason being the sv has been a little unrelible of late and my very understanding place of work thort best to sack me because of it, and the second reason is that i feel like a bit more power.

i ride all winter and live on a country lane so i need a bike that handles reasonably well on muddy roads and does not mind being covered in muck half the year, i should get about 2300 to 2500 for my bike and should have another 1 to 2k to add to that.

i would sooo love to get a cbr600rr but i feel that its a bit impractical for where i live and i also carry my gf on the back so i guess she wont be best pleased with the seating arrangements.
i want to test ride a cbr600f sport as i think this has the looks im after and being a honda will probbly withstand the english weather better than most. does any1 have experence with this bike or think it would be a good idear?

also is there anything else i should add to the list of test rides for the same price range and the points that i want? would love a blade but anything above 600cc will be a tad expencive on the insurance for me being only 22 with 6 points on my licence

cheers in advance for the feedback :)

Do not ride a cbr600rr on muddy roads. There is a 06 here and i can tell you it's NO fun.:(

what about the cbr f does that handle any better, o i do love having the back of the sv out on every corner in the mud but it still seems stable dont mind if the bike slides aslong as it doesent go down!

Hornet and CBR600F would be good candidates I reckon. Both ace bikes.

Fazer?

i think im a bit fussy when it comes to the styling of the bike, not keen on the fazer, the hornet isent bad but i really want an all n out sports bike but cant afford it so will have to make do with the cbr600f, im trying to think of a bike with sports styling and proformance but being practical and unbreakable at the same time, its a shame i cant get a rsv till i can afford the insurance because i love the v twins, dont mind a revvy bike tho as my last 1 was a nsr125
