Youll get bored of riding a 600 that has cost a grand as it will be a shitbox mate.

Look at it this way, bike prices are great, if you get bored youll hardly lose, if any, a penny!

I dont really have the money to spend on a expencive bike at the moment though so i'm kinda stuck with a cheap bike.

me mate has a 600 bandit for sale, cheap bike and the best your going to get for a grand tbh as like lee said 99% of 1k bikes will be a bag of wank but i know me mates is a sound bike and not to far away from you

my mate pased his test and bought a bandit and loved it, said it was much more fun than his new blackbird and would buy another, no problems

100% agree.

Mate just bought a cbr 600 on an R or P plate for £900. It's similar to my first M plate cbr 6 i had which was great 7 years ago but not now

However it's still very hard NOT to enjoy riding a bike i tell you!

suzuki GSXf 600 as that is what i bought when i passed my test was a great little bike you can pick them up for less than 1k now.

I dont like the gsx600f, If you want a suzuki buy a gsxr, Or something like I have a Yamaha yzf600r thundercat, Ive had mine 5 years now and was my very first legal bike on the road, very comfy bike and still does 150 mph plus, even better when i fitted a double bubble screen and better exhaust, That'll be for sale soon once Ive re mot'd it and put new tyres and brake hoseson it, Going for some stainless braided ones i think, very good brakes on these too as they are the same as R1 brakes

Yeh but if we all liked the the same things the world would be a shit place.
Personally im not into the whole head down arse up scene. But think the guys only looking for a cheap run around for around 1k to see if he likes it and personally if i bought a gsxr for 1k don't think it would be in that great a nick no matter what age it is.

if you're not to tall and heavy, you should think about getting a 400 sports bike as a first bike, it will teach you everything you need to know, wont lose a penny in value and if you decide you want to step up, will be easy to sell,

good advice, and the cbr400 nc23 is a good size for those of us with a large mass.. avoid the gsxr400 if your big though cuz it was designed for small people, not sure about the zxr but the vfr is basically a cbr with a v engine.. and all have enough power to send you flying in seconds..
