Im looking for a new bike and wanted to consult you all before i make an impulse buy.
What i want is a bike (obviously  ) less than 500cc but more than 200cc, ideally a 250 or 350. New or old, big or small not fussed. I want something 4-stroke with reliability, preferably japanese too.
What you recommend with a budget of around £1,000. Can be alot less or very slightly more. Must be reasonable on incsurance too. 
Oh yeh, one more thing, on a bigger bike (currently have an old suzuki gp100) how is the clutch different? As i can ride my bike with the clutch all the way out and it still goes as slow as i want but on a bigger bike do you need to use the clutch more? As i have only had a very small go (about 30ft  ) on my friends xs400 and when i released the clutch it pulled me forward, it was totally different to my gp100

Nice for a gsxr (I don't usually like them, please don't hurt me oh large gixxer fanbase) but err... am I being a noob in asking what the red bull can is for?

Is this some home crafted oiling mechanism? Or is the seller a loony-tune?

Redbull can cut up and wrapped round the resivour.
I think it looks neat....probably because I'll be doing that soon .
