Which 400cc bike on a budget?

Hi there,

Ive been looking at getting a 400cc bike and will have up to £1000 to spend. Im 6 foot so a smaller bike is probably a no go.

im quite a bike noob, but I was looking at cbr, vfr, rvf, zxr, gxr..

How will insurance vary and tax vary between them, I am 21?

Idealy should i be looking at a bike with low mileage?

thanks

suzuki drz 400 maybe? high mileage bikes are fine aslong as they have been maintained ect and the condition is good,im on 60k miles on a zx6 and its as strong as when i bought it

Yamaha FZR 400 3TJ or 4DX.

Any other opinion is wrong

Your be hard push to find a good RVF for 1k
Cbr 400 or kwak 400 would be my bet!

Is there a reason you want 400 over 600?

From my research for a first big bike I found that a lot of the 400 bikes are expensive compared to the equivalent 600.
