Ok, so I am getting back into biking scene once again after having a car for a while and today having it sold I am quite happy Smile

So I have a budget of about £1600 and I am looking for a sports bike, something to enjoy this summer! Previously I have ridden srad gsxr 600 and 99 r6 and loved both!

So far in my area I have managed to spot these two bikes which have caught my eye -

ZX9R B4 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/zx9r-B4-900cc-1997-Green-sports-tourer-not-fireblade-not-GSXR-not-Yamaha-R1-/251038286554?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item3a730c42da

SRAD GSXR 600 - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzuki-GSXR-600-Low-Mileage-/170819054435?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item27c59beb63

They both seem decent but I feel no initial spark for some reason, but for me good condition and low mileage is important. I have also seems to have developed an mpg fobia! My previous car Toyota Supra was putting me into a depression every time I had to fill up so bike needs to be decent on fuel.

So should I possibly wait for something a bit newer to pop up or go for one of these? Other bikes that might interest me would include GSXR 600-750 from k1 upwards, r6, new shape daytona 6, cbr6, zx6r, zx7r and possibly even my childhood hero Fireblade!

Many thanks in advance.

Few minutes of life of the biker could be more interesting then the whole lifes of many people
