New old bike

[samj6]

Hi all

Need some suggestions on what bike to get if i pass my test next month? was wanting one of the new 250 ninjas but would have to get it on finance and i'm going away for 3 months soon so too complicated.

So now i've decided to get an oldish bike for about £1000 and keep that till 5 months then get the ninja when i get back.

Would obviously have to be able to restrict it to 33bhp, cheap, less than 30,000 miles and a good bit faster than the CG!

Suggestions appreciated!

SV650 is a good choice for that I'd suggest.
Any of the 500s; GPZ500 seems to be a particular favourite.
DR350 or DR600 (and DR650, KLR600/650).
Can get most of the 400cc sports bikes for that kinda money if you shop around a bit.

My mates been waiting for his ninja for months, he has ended up cancleing it. So if you decide to get one in the end just don't

Just search biketrader.co.uk and ebay. You'll be spoilt for choice with a grand, everyone seems to be selling to raise cash.

Just a case of what bike you want. Mine's for sale, see the link in my sig...
