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.

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

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
