Yeah so I've currently got a 2014 GW250 and have had it for just over a year and a half (18000 k later..), and I'm wanting to upgrade. The problem is that I'm still on my restricted and will be for another 12+ months so the bike I'll be getting would have to be LAMS approved. Being 6-2 and approx 100kg I kinda out grew my 250 and so was wanting to move up to a bigger bike preferably a I-4. I've looked around the internet and to either a GSX650F or a FZ6R as top choices. I'm leaning a bit more towards the Suzuki as its been out for longer and so parts should hopefully be cheaper. I primarily do town/city riding as I currently live in Wellington but i do head up to Palmerston North every other weekend to see my family, I'm wanting a bigger bike that I can do longer trips on while being able to carry luggage (wanting to go up east coast and into BOP then cut across to west coast and back to Wellington/Palmy), but still able to take up some of the twistier roads out back of Manawatu. If I could get some peoples thoughts on my choices or even recommend some other bikes that would be awesome.
-I've also recently heard of the GS500, thoughts?
