I suppose I'm leaning towards the Honda. Purely for reliability (so i'm told) for the age of bike in my price range.
I enjoyed the 650 when I had it but I would like to cover more distance and get out and see some of the family on it which could be up to 5 hours travel!

So I'd like something more comfortable for touring but with some fun to enjoy the twistys around Devon and Cornwall where I am living now.

Top O' the morning to you all..
After riding an Sv650 for my first year of 'proper' biking I had to sell due to family shenanigans.

I now now find myself in a position to make a purchase once more.
Question is which bike?
Obviously it come to personal preference and what I want from it but form the list below what 'issues' might I have or what should i steer away from?

CBR600R
Triumph Sprint
Gsxr600
Bandit600
Zxr600

Cheers for any advice


Get Fazer FZS600. With the rest of the money do a summer trip to Spain.

Nah, it was a 125 that turned out to be another lighter big thumper.

Good bikes, especially if your thinking of doing a bit of touring Very Happy [/img]
