I've already got a semi quick car ... this is just to have 'fun' maybe save some MPG and free parking at school, haha. I don't plan on forcing myself to keep up if I can't handle it.
I am thinking I will look at CBR 600, FZ6R, SV 650S, 6R, what else am I missing in the middle range?
What makes them super quick, the HP? These being 90, and the 646/GSXR being 130~?
1. They rev quickly. You go over a bump and aren't expecting it and you twist the throttle and away you go.
2. They have pretty decent brakes. Hit a corner too fast and brake too hard and let it out too quickly and you've high-sided.
3. Insurance costs are pretty high, because they get wrecked pretty quickly.
I started out on a GS500, rode it until I got good, then bought my dreambike. I'd start on the SV650 and then upgrade when you get comfortable. I'd also wait and buy the bike in November/December when the prices are low.
