Hi

My original plan was to ride my CBR125R for at least a year before going for a full license but I have the bike bug now and want to go for my test earlier and move up to a 600/650.

I'm just thinking of which bikes I should be considering.

My criteria is that the bike must be styled like a supersports, must be good for all weather use/commuting, economical, no manual choke and be reliable. Budget would be £2500.

At the moment I like the look of the ER6F but I hate the sound of the engine!

I also like the GSX650F.

Are there any other bikes I should be considering?
 
Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not a fan of the looks of the SV650 as I like bikes that have more of a full fairing like the GSX650F/ER6F or am I looking at the wrong version of the SV650?

ZX6R/GSXR600/CBR600F are all proper supersports aren't they? I only want supersport kind of looks without the insurance premium etc!

The budget can't really be stretched and like I said previously I don't want a proper supersports bike.

CBR600F shouldnt be as bad insureance wise as its the sensible CBR, ie not the RR. Nice comfy seat, far more relaxed. Try and get a quote you might be suprised.

If insurance is a nono the just get the SV650 sport. Heres one. looks really nice and clean, low milage, sure they would do it for under 2.5k

Thanks for the suggestion but it's not for me.

It's not just the insurance either, I don't think a supersports is going to make a nice all rounder bike which will mainy be used for commuting.
