What to get?
Next month I am looking at getting rid of the sv (it's not gonna last much longer me thinks) and getting a new bike. I kinda have my heart set on a 600 sports bike (new kwak would be lovely), but if I'm sensible and think about money and insurance then I might be wise to go for something else.
What bike would you all suggest and why? gsr600? fazer? hornet? newer sv? 400 sports? ...... All comments etc welcome, just wanna get lots of opinions. |

Depends what you want
 I wouldnt buy a 400 Sports bike. They are all knocking on a bit now. My brother had an NC35 RVF 400 and his insurance was more than the insurance for my SV was. Personally if you want a SS 600 then go for it, take it for a test ride and see how you get on. Its not that the SV is a bad bike, its not its great. Its just that the a SS600 is alot more bike. I bet you're even more confused now eyh. I love the GSXR I'm really glad I bought it

If you want a "sensible" sports 600, look at the CBR600F (not the RR). I wouldn't go for a new Fazer personally, but the Kwack Z750 is worth a look.
Just make sure you test ride a few and don't bow to peer pressure, get a bike that suits you.... . |

Hornet, then you can buy mine
 Don't rule out a Daytona, they're terrific bikes, but as a D650 owner maybe I'm biased

I did think about the daytona, I like the style of it. I like all the supersports really.
I guess in the end I'll follow my heart, put myself in debt and get a ss 600. Now I just need to test ride them all and see which one is for me. |

So now do I go for the lovely ninja with the underseat, or save a bit of money and go for the b1h model? That would be either £5790, or £3999.... is the extra money worth it?

no, go for the older model, underseat exhausts are tart handbags
and no storage space |
