I'm slightly bias because I've owned too many gsxrs but I do like them hence owning so many. I have owned a couple of cbrs - the FI was sooo uncomfortable inho.
The older R6 would be a good choice as not so extreme riding position as the newer model. also the ZX6r is a cracking bike.
But of your 1st choices I'd go the gsxr route [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Are you limited to just these two choices? ;)
The GSXR 1400 is awesome! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Also fell in love AGAIN yesterday, this time with a Kawasaki Z1000! :-* Orange and white - luvleeeeee! :)
Or you could always get a Buell - trust me, I've sat on LastTrain's and it is a 'wonderful' experience! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Will satisfy many needs! ;) [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Personally I wouldn't recommend any of these as a 1st bike. No doubt all great bikes I've also had the gsx1400 and 2x Buells and ridden numerous Z-thous (theyre also away from the sports bike theme Nico was looking at)Quote:

Sadly, I agree, all not suitable 1st bikes but soooooooo much fun! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
We were up GW's yesterday - I was asking random people if they were Stu but obviously never found you!
Also toning tables and jacuzzi's work very well too! ;D [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
My first bike was 650SV, super bike!! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Yeah i have thought about it, but would like a change really [smiley=happy.gif]Quote:

As a first big bike I'd always pick an SV650 - more character than an inline four, as fast as you'll need for the road and plenty capable on trackdays. They're also a bit of a bargain.
I quitelike sv650's but out of your choices I'd say the honda but then I've only owned hondas.
I would definatly say that you should try them if you can
Test ride or at least sit on as many as you can to get a feel of whats out there and then choose [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

yep test riding is the way forward...or own 7 bikes in 2 years like i have lol ;D I would highly recommend the SV650.

I was about - din't stop yesterday as was so busy - but I'm not complaining 8-) Easiest way to spiot me is I'm the only sales person with tattoos down the arms and on the neck (no i don't look like the typical salesperson but atleast i don't have the piercings in anymore! :D )
SV is a cracking bike - shame they've stopped the sport version now but have just released a new limited white/ blue half faired for 4999 [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
