Suggest me a bike!

[Irezumi aka Reuben]

I bought a ZX6R but may change it for something more suitable for town work.

In terms of handling would I loose out much riding something like a Hornet6 or an SV650 on country roads? I would also prefer something which isnt as nice, so whats good for around £1500 for messing about on, pretty quick and alround useable?

Hi

Would suggest that although the handling might well be worse on country roads, ultimatly it is unlikely to make you any slower as there are too many other things to stop you going quickly on the road (eg, sight lines).

All the best

Hi

In which case something with softer suspension that can work with you on it might be an advantage.

All the best

suzuki bandit 600? (start at around £1k)

honda CB400-N (cost around £400 for an average one)

suzuki DRZ400 (ive seen one go for around £900 on ebay, and someone on here was selling one for £1200)
