Well ol' zeo gets his full next month (if ol' zeo remembers to book it!). So, as with the territory, when my licence upgrades, so will my bike. The GPX 250 has been good to me, in a back cracking, curled up, cramped kind of way, and I love it so! But it's time for me to not downshift going up a slight hill, or passing a car at sub-speed limit speeds !
So I thought I would come here, to see if anyone is selling a bike in the very near future.
My preferences: Well, obviously preferably kawasaki, since I'm an incredible fanboy. But the main features will be comfort and reliability.
Bikes I have looked at a possible second bike so far:
Ducati 600ss
Suzuki RF900
CBR 600F (quite liked the look of the 97 model, seemed like it may be a comfortable ride, and Honda's seem to hold the reliability throne?)
Kawasaki ZZR600
I'm really into touring, and a bike with an arse to handle luggage is a big bonus (hence the RF900), but as it will be my primary mode of transport, it needs to be fairly light for commuting.
Throughout winter I've seen these hang around the 4 - 5k area.. but as summer comes around it's getting sparse again, not exactly the best time to buy a bike I guess :(
Will I get this within my price range? Or is this all wishful thinking?
Any tips and help GREATLY appreciated, and I guess in a months time, WTS 1990 GPX 250 :whocares: hehe
Thanks in advance!

/edit: I should note that speed isn't a factor, but quick off the mark is a big plus.. I don't care too much for top end, I'm more interested in accelleration.
