Am an Intermediate rider. Looking for a fast super sport bike, but smooth to ride and easy on turns. Nothing too expensive to fix, if bike goes out of control and drops. Got any suggestions? Very much appreciated!

Not sure about these fancy bikes with the ability to control themselves (and
lose control of themselves). Folks 'round these parts gotta make due with bikes that are controlled by the rider.

Haha, that's was funny. I couldn't tell you, but just about any 600cc sport bike should have excellent handling.

eh? 600cc u say? I was thinking the 600's or 650's. Anybody know about 600's models, comparably at a cheap price? Thanks

Cheap is relative.
Define your price range.
Cheap, to me, is $1000-2000 and you're not gonna find many 600cc for that money.
Or not any good condition ones.

Well 600cc bikes are kinda lame in the early RPMs but once they hit 10-14k they really start to move. A 600cc bike will seem like a 500 in low rpm.
Define intermediate.
