So for a while I've been thinking about getting a new bike in the summer, I first thought an RS125, then an RVF400, now a GSXR600.
Alot of people have said there is no point of an RS, but then RVF's are quite old-ish so I thought about getting a GSXR600 on finance with 0% APR, I'm just worried it might be to big a step?

I'd say the gix.

But only if you have a secure job and can pay for it.

RS125 - Ragged by chav boi's
RVF400 - Old but good, if you can find a tidy one
GSXR600 - Most likely been raged by some old man or young lad,

With the Gix, there is plenty of parts availible, they are good for long runs (lower revs easier riding), have the power to go mental with it. It all depends on what you want to ride.

Nooo.

Buy a second hand GSXR600 SRAD. You'll learn far more about riding it and you won't worry so much about it getting nicked.

They are really cheap and good bikes. New bikes are for those people who need the new bike image.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

also consider a zx6r b1h the engine and whole bike is make of win!

granted without a damper it can get a bit hairy but you can pick up a half decent one now for 2750-3k i have one and couldnt reccomend one enough. will still keep up with most modern 600`s and imo will out handle alot of them.

come to think of it i`ll most likely be selling mine soon.
