    Just like if you were looking for a screw you'd choose the younger broad not the old wrinkled, used up one. (Unless that sort of thing floats your boat?)

    Kawi er6 , Suzi sv650 or weestrom . None are sexy but bloody good all round bikes that will give enough performance for NZ conditions.
    You would be surprised how quick a good rider can be on those machines.

    Set reading comprehension to "whut?"

    Anyone who wants a cheap 600cc sportsbike is only thinking about sex. Because they're not getting any. Us old people need to stop making sensible suggestions. We've given up on worrying about having sex and that's incomprehensible to people who want 600cc sportsbikes.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    It's not that butchered - but it is an older Bandit ..

    If you have to do a bit of city riding a 600 or 900 Hornet would be a good bet.
