I have just saved enough cash to by a bike, its been several years since I had my zzr 250 and now I am keen to grab a 6oo and get into some riding again.
Has anyone got any advice as to a good bike? I'm keen to have somthimg to "grow into" I figure that controling my right hand should keep me safe till I get some skills. Cheers for your coments!

How did you find the ZZR? and what style of bike is your preference?
What do you want to do with your riding?
What sort of budget...
A Bandit 600 might be a good start, easy touring, not as much power as some sports bike but reasonably forgiving to ride.
If you can't be good, be good at it

Thanks for the welcome!
The zzr was fine, good fun going round the bends but a killer on the long runs ( I had it in Oz 10 years ago). I would like a sport bike, it will be mostly a toy but also my only transport. I wanna be fast some day so something with potential (and a fairing). that way I can perhaps go get some tuition and let things progress from there. as a skydive instructor I am always telling my students to first master the skills then add speed, I hope self control will allow me to do that on a fastish bike, or am I hoplessly out of touch and about to throttle jocky my way into gravel rash history??
Come warm yourself by the fire
zzr4 or 6 id say. If you like it - stick with it

Welcome to the house.
ZZR400 or ZZR600, could go for an F1 (1995), 2 or 3 ZX6R or similar (you know - those other makes). They are 'sporty' but not too powerful compared to current bikes.

I ride a Suzuki SV650S can tell you it's brilliant. mind you there are so many brilliant bikes and I guess as long as it's in good nick and you ride sensibly any bike will do - mid size bikes are great and more than sufficient.
Enjoy

Good choice too - Also worth looking at is the 2007 Kawasaki ER6N (or the sports fully faired version)

have been meaning too - I think I will - though I must say it will be hard giving up my SV650s as I really love it. however I do not really like the new SV style - too angular for me.
