First off, just completed my DAS and passed both tests first time. I did the course over 2.5 days inc tests (I've been riding on my CBT since October last year) with 1on1 Rider Training in Bedfordshire who were fantastic, I would recommend them to anyone!
Now, I need to trade my little R125 in for a big bike. I rode the XJ6 (naked version) for my DAS and was incredibly impressed by it so am naturally considering the XJ6 Diversion F as a first big bike. I also rode the ER-6 and preferred the inline 4 so I'm also considering the Suzuki GSX650F. I have a budget of about £3.5k so I'll be looking at ~2011 XJ6 or ~2009 650F. Has anyone on here been able to compare the 2? The XJ6 is a bit less powerful but is better value and I've heard more reliable.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
