As long as you are reasonably sensible you should be fine on any of them.

Are you looking at new or used?

If new then I would get the R6, GSX-R600, CBR600RR then the ZX6R is my order of preference.

Test wise, you'll be fine.

Just remember your "lifesaver"
The lifesaver I can remember.

It's turning the bloody indicator off I keep forgetting to do.

Some newer bikes have a buzzer that gets louder as a reminder

New or used bike mate?

new bike sales are very low this year ,

resulting in a number of long time established dealers going to the wall this last month or 2 , also, a couple of guys I know have been made redundant from dealers .

You could also try doing something like the California Superbike School, I haven't done it, but have heard good things about them


http://www.superbikeschool.co.uk/
P.S. I Have done all levels on this - it is fantastic - and improved my riding (and as a result track speed) more than any other expensive performance mod.

VERY Highly rated!
