After having my GSXR400 since my 17th birthday in May it has never worked properly and now i am going to break it, cut my losses and get a new motor.

That means new bike for me, yay Very Happy

, this will be my 5th bike since 13 Cool

I am currently looking at the GSXR600, CBR600 and VFR/RVF400. I have been told these are very reliable/easy to get parts for (maybe not as much as the VFR/RVF)

Please can you advise me on what they are like/what to do. And please don't say get a shite 125/bike becasue i don't want one Confused

Below are the pics. They are all roughly the same price and have low mileage etc. I am about 6'5 and am abit cramped on the GSXR. So info on sizes would be good.

We are goin to some dealerships soon to get proper looks. Can i testride at 17?? If not i guess my dad will have to do it.

Cheers and sorry for the long post. Oh and by the way if i choose a GSXR6 it HAS to be an SRAD (i love them)

Oh and by the way i will have about £2-£2.5k to spend so if you can recommend anything else, that would be great

Mmmm 6'5? I can't see you fitting nicely on an RVF/VFR too well. Wink

Go for a ZXR400, or a GSXR600 like you said if you want to pay a lil bit more on insurance.
