    What style of bike would you be interested in? Naked? UJM? Cruiser? Touring? Sports Bike? Most people have an idea of what style of bike they are drawn to.

    Unfortunately, the new licensing and IBT requirements encourage people to start off with a bigger bike. Otherwise you will find yourself reaching for your wallet to repeat the IBT in a couple of years if you want a bigger bike. So whatever bike you end up getting I would recommend that you do the IBT on a category A licence bike (at least 595cc & 50kW engine power).

    Bandit 600, fazer 600, hornet 600. Any of those will suit you well.
