recommend me a bike
 

been looking at different bikes thinking what to get next after the SV, im not really what you call a bike expert as I've only ridden a few other bikes other than sv but im looking at something with good performance, reliability, but still able to be thrown about and can withstand being hacked, these are what i looked at / ridden;

bikes:
new R6 : rode it quite liked it, insurance is abit high and told it was to small for me
TL1000S: not got good reviews on reliability but cheep insurance and i do like it
CBR6rr (one with under seat zorsts) : was told it would be to small for me
new fazer 6 faired : comfortable but looks abit pipe and slippers
SV1000 : road it didnt like it but could do with a longer ride

thats about it really, what else can i try?

To be honest we can only comment on our experiences, many on here by what they have read, and what would suit us may not suit your needs.

The best thing you can really do is go out and test ride them properly, this is the only way you will find the bike that suits your budget, your needs, and your riding characteristics.

I have ridden all of the above except the new Fazer and none of the bikes above offer the same riding experience, the closest two are the R6 and the CBR600RR.
