    Happy days gettin a bike in next few weeks. Been on sites looking. Seen some lovely bikes like cbr 600 gsxr 600/750 all in 00 to 02 models and the bike I love 98 blade My budget would be from 1000/2500 the lower side the better as insurance is costing a few bob but I also know I get what I pay for. So out of the bikes what are the thoughts. Be great if you have had them and know about the good and bad side of the bikes ie what to watch out for buying are what is common to brake are so. I'm 30 an 6ft little shy 100kg and a sports bike is defo what I'd like so any info on them bikes other bikes along them lines be great.

    Guessing this will be your first bike? There are a million reasons why getting a 600/1000cc sportsbike is a terrible idea. Just bear in mind that you do not have the experience to use one of these without killing yourself. You can chance it if you like, I wouldn't.

    If you want one go for the cbr600f. Not the RR.

    Have a look at the SV650. Thats probably the perfect bike for you right now.

    Don't forget the cost of gear when you're doing your figures.
