[McClure]

Hillier's 2013 ZX10R would make a decent track steed, and with change from £25k

Still obsessing about what bike to choose for a first one, now I can't decide what I prefer out of these two

CBR600F

MK1 Bandit 600


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk1-Suzuki-Bandit-600-/2...

Also seen a couple of CCMs I like the look of..

Go for the CBR

[Atlas 12v]

This! £13k but a mean looking beast!

[Dannaz]

One of these so it can be my do everything bike, as there's no convincing the OH, I need two bikes.

Would have to have a single exhaust though.

I've been dreaming about these a lot lately, they tick a lot of boxes for me, I even like the way they look. Comfortable, torquey but still worth revving out when there is enough road available. The only thing that puts me off is that I hear they chew through tyres and chains. Definitely a "One day..." bike for me though.

The talk in the other thread made me remember I want an S1000R after trying one a few months ago. Sigh.

CBR every time, much better build quality even though they are both old now. My old CBR400 would beat bandits to death with a stty stick.

Yeah I read this about them too, however this does not put me off wanting one, like you say I will also own one, one day when insurance comes down on them for me and I have the funding. I also like the looks, however not keen on 2008 onwards models with the integrated rear indicators.

Had a half faired mk1 bandit 600. Absolutely bulletproof but yes they are bland. It really isnt worth throwing money at them to make them quicker or handle better. But the 1200 on the other hand is much more fun!

Wouldn't say obsessing, but I don't gel with the Buell XB9s and really enjoy riding the stop-gap r1100rt which should have long been sold, so thinking of buying this barge:


It just doesn't seam to suit my age, being in the mid twenties

Im 22 and cant stop thinking about



Its become obsessive. Ive watched every FJR youtube video, i think.

I'd be inclined to agree with tom, I think it's only the older gsxr 600s you can restrict, haven't looked into it though.


I'm looking at doing my A2 this year as well, my choice bike after that would be one of these, and it would have to have termis

Great first bike I think. Mrs Redback911 will pick hers up shortly, just had the seat adjusted:

[sradmarty]

Got a hankering for something small capacity, lightweight and two stroke. And beautiful helps as well. This would do!

Such a beautifully proportioned bike. Would be considerably less well proportioned with my fat arse on it but I could live with that.

On a similar note, I spotted this on Ebay the other day. I love it!
