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.

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... Thumbs Up
