Upgrade recommendations?

Have at it guys and girls!

Time for me to upgrade, what do you all recommend ( realistically )

I currently ride an 04 GSX250, what is a good step up, I am a Suzuki fan, but not limiting my self to Suzuki, GSX-R600 or SV1000S are my current choices.

Yes/No/Other

Need more info, what's your skill level? What experience with bikes have you had? What type of riding do you do and what do you want to do with your bigger bike? Are you responsible or a little reckless?

If you want to go flat out like a bat out of hell get the 600, if you want a bit of grunt and the ability to toodle at a good pace, get the SV

Get the SV. Its a better all round bike, put a pack rack on it and carry shit for touring, the odd track day, weekend thrash of the backroads.
But if I was you I would just stop fucking around and just get a hayabusa...

what years of the aforementioned bikes are you looking at?

Id suggest once youve decided roughly what you want, make sure you go test a couple of other manufacturers equivalents, i.e. if you like the gsxr600, go try a zx636 / cbr600 / r6 as well. usually they are pretty similar, but the small differences between the manufacturers can make the difference between a good bike, and one that fits you perfectly.

what sort of riding do you do? commute, weekend rides, touring, trackdays?

what sort od budget do you have?

are you a short fat cunt, or a tall lanky streak of weasel piss?

Easy decision for that money I reckon.
