viewtopic.php?t=8790



thats my story about how my bike died. It sucked, i loved my bike. But its gone. Now i need a new bike. I donno how big i wanna go. I like my ex500. I was content with its power, may want more but id be fine with anouther "starter" bike. Like maybe a GS500F, or a katana, maybe a zzr, but nothin to big, maybe even anouther "n00bie" bike. I have some skills but i dont want to take to big of a leap or buy a bike ill be riding scared. So, any sugestions?

Maybe an SV650. Or the ZZR if you can find a decent one. Possibly a YZF600R

Delete the enter after the URL. I'd go for the ZZR myself, or a nic Hornet :D. Maybe an SV for the torque monkey in you.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

'06 GSX-R600

they look stunningly beautiful, in fact, i like its nose better than my 1000, but i like my exhaust pipe a lot better.

and since you got exp, im sure you can handle and push the 600 to its limit, well maybe not to its limit but you'll probably get to squeeze more out of it and still control it.

Its more of, hes to the point where he is ready to move up to a 600. It will be some time before he could ride it anywhere near its potential
