    am looking at a bike upgrade soon dont really know what type is should get, will get my full soon so thinking around 600cc, got about 3k to spend on it, wanting something that handles well, not after anything too powerfull V-twin is prolly good for torque, easy to work on, and reliability/longevity, an SV650 would probably be my choice if i had heaps of cash, but a bit out of my range atm. Seriously looking at a honda Bros 650 atm, any other ideas would be appreciated

    gotta make the control circuitry, designed most of it so shouldnt be too much work. Cool, you gonna use it for trial rides and shit, or doing it up to sell?

    Good value for money, but throw CBR600f2 springs in the front with 15wt fork oil, otherwise you will die Get the exhaust nice and open. Sadly you would be better of with a 400 four [NC30!!!!]
