What to look for next?

That was exactly me a few months ago. Ive got a 97 zx6r if you want to meet up sometime to give you an idea of what to expect and I could take you for a quick ride. Send me a PM if your interested.

I miss that bike I hope you're getting out on those beautiful Otago roads!

Beautiful is streching it a bit. Seems as soon as you get south of Oamaru they get bumpy as hell. I just go inland instead. Nothing wrong with the long way to anywhere on a bike.

Yep yep, Tekapo to Arrowtown for sure.

Yeah from what ive been told + heard, a tourqey litre twin straight after a slow tourqeless 250 mite not be wise (something about 'riding may cause death or similar health problems')

Cheers fisherman for the offer but i'm thinking now i should actually get my licence first then go for a few test rides...

But for one final thought - just saw this on TM

62,000 kms on a 600 seems kinda high but sounds well looked after (from the description + photos ), and could always get experienced family members to test ride /inspect.

Anyways thanks for the feedbak

Does NZ have bumpy roads? I can't remember finding one...

Should be able to pick up an older R6 for that sort of money.

If you like twins you should consider an SV650. I just made the step up a couple of months ago from a 250 and found the transition reasonably easy (except for the fact that I am a short arse!). They are a great all round bike, have the great v-twin rumble and are very affordable - you should be able to get a pretty good one in your price range.

Last of the full HP ones..

And go hard...

You will pick one up with high kms for just over $7k ish..

327kph was the claimed top speed...

You will be fine...After all...You will have a FULL LICENCE!!

Crazy Steve..
