What bike to go for????

[ashwell-09]

The honda CBR 400 is getting sold to a friend in september, i'm trying to decide what to save up for over the winter....
Bearing in mind it's gonna be my second big bike.

I'm split between the R6, CBR 600, GSXR or maybe, just maybe a supermoto.

What would be the funnest option? as that's what i'm looking for.

Cheers

Depends, are you going to be going over a tonne often? What sort of roads do you ride on?

I choose a supermoto style bike because I enjoy back roads, twisty roads and I want to keep my licence

you will have endless amounts of fun on an sm bike. But really it depends what you want out of the bike.

As I say to most people, look around this forum, there are tonnes of 'what bike next threads', write down the list of bikes you have seen listed, go onto google images, look at all the bikes. Cross off your list the ones you don't like.

Then go out to a few bike shops and look at the ones you do like, and if possible go for a test ride, (if able) if not, at least sit on the bike and get a feel for it - distance from seat to footpeg, how long the reach to handle bar is, that sort of thing...

Then make an informed decision based on what suits YOU.

check out Aprillia dorsoduro or shiver, 93bhp Vtwin, supermoto style with great handling and brakes. Fast enough to scare you but not to end up in jail.

imo all the bikes around the same year/style you wont tell the differnace in power/handling orless you really are a pro. just go for the one you like the look of or fancy more and get it....
