VFR400/ZXR400 or CBR600/ZXR600?

[Ragingrob]

Been caging it since I got back from Canada. Have been extremely jealous of the bikes on the road since the warmer weather has arrived...

Now my car's clutch has shagged itself and I could be keen for a summer bike to get around on instead of spending too much on the old car.

Something in good running condition, not too fussed about looks, either a grunty little 400 or a decent 600 would do me great. Any good 750s or 900s could also be a go-er!!

Anything 4k and under would seriously tickle my fancy!

If anyone's got something out there lemme know :2thumbsup

Waaay too much info haha...

Damn I was just in Wellington this last weekend too... Hrmmm....

Only concern is the fzr being a pretty damn big and heavy bike... does it feel like that day to day?

Curious as to what year that is? Sorry to hear about the doc, cruel bastards they are... My hand currently won't fit into a mbike glove but give another couple of weeks here's hoping!

It's long, low and heavy, it rolls into corners rather than flicking into them but it can be powered through just fine. Aftermarket shock and harder fork springs might help but it rides nicely. Brakes are awesome and can lanesplit just as well as a scooter. Sounds good thanks to the different muffler and gets attention as there's not too many knocking round. Bear in mind the second biggest bike I've had was a GB400 and before that a wide variety of 2 strokes so that might just be my impression of big bikes in general :) To answer your question directly I'm just as happy day to day as with an RG250 only thirstier much better down the motorway or 2 up and with an electric leg and I feel safe, cagers notice it.
