What 600 sports bike

[timboellis]

Following over from my previous post what sub £1500 bike but needs to be:

Kind on the wrists
No leaning over the tank
Not too small
Space for pillion
Possibility to use as a daily bike

Are you sure you want a 600 SPORTS bike .

Anyway, G/J model ZX6R, CBR 600 F4 (FX/FY), Yamaha Thunder cat.

If you don't like 'leaning over the tank' consider getting riser bars of some kind.

If you don't want to be hunched over, I'd say skip the sports bikes and have a sit on a Fazer 600 or Bandit S.

Not a sports bike but have you considered a Suzuki SV650? Massively underestimated bikes!

Not strictly a sports bike but how about an er6f? Sports bike styling but more upright than any sports bike. May be hard pushed to get one under £1500 though.

Also, sports 600s tend to have circa 100hp, which is way above the 650 twins. A litre twin commuter would be a better suggestion, maybe?

Well I do not want a 1000 but want around a 600/650 even up to a 850

I'd have said a Hornet would be a good bet...

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

I owned one, first 600 and was comfy as hell

For a budget, you cannot go far wrong with a ZX6R G/J. They are very roomy and the fairings do a pretty good job of keeping the wind and elements at bay. I've ridden my mates J and it's pretty much capable of doing anything you want it to. It's a bit "sports tourer" by modern standards but it won't cripple you on a 200+ mile journey. It's fine in town and still looks good after all these years.

Very little goes wrong with them. If anything, it'll be the brake calipers and maybe suspension (linkages or the actual shocks themselves - but it's the same with any 10 year old bike, the components are worn).

Thundercat meets your brief perfectly.

Funny you should mention that was just reading it and all seems okay and I am now 100% sure that this will be my next bike.

Either in July once i have saved up the cash or next month if i can get a buyer for my Diversion

So just keeping my eyes open now

How about something like a firestorm?
