Default Recommend me a good first bike for around £1000

FIRST OFF, NO! NOT AN SV!!!
Its not for me its for a mate but he's got no interest in having an SV, he thinks Im only suggesting it because its what I had etc etc regardless of his female logic Im still trying to help him find the right one.

Anyway he's as flippant as a blonde essex bird, last week he was certain a drz would be the right bike for him. Now he's convinced an old Zxr is the right bike. The problem is I dont know much about the market at the minute nor is my judgement as experianced as combining all yours so I thought I'd put it to your encylopedic knowlage base and see what can be suggested.

I hear what you're saying but ruled that out because I felt they're quite a lot of money for what you get.
