hey guys

i want a bike for over the summer as im missing my bandit.

i only want it for a few months and a bit of fun. what do you think i should get

i would happily go for a bike simlular to the bandit touring style
i have always fancied a dirt bike. on road obs lol

and maybe a sportbike.

up to a grand possibly

cc doesnt matter

suzuki DRZ 400sm

1 hell of a bike

comfy, quick and a supermoto

or the 600 if you opt for more power

or the crf450f supermoto style

Cant see you getting a supermoto for under a grand. CR-F's fetech 1500 upwards. DR-Z...have heard in SM trim they are gash. Keep them to the green lanes!

Your budget restricts your choice TBH.

i paid £1750 for my crf450r supermoto, but it sold for £2395. For a grand i would go 1200 bandit mate. I have seen old ktm duke for around £1200 tho... look a bit ****, but go well...... same money would get a early tatty ish blade.....

ok if my budget is restricting then advise me according to it lol, the vrf400 looks wicked.

and my mate has a dr350 they look cool.

and i dont mind riding an older bike.

SV650, i had one as my first bike, loved it. V twin roar! VFR 400, nearly bought one instead of the SV. Nice looking bike and sound great on full chat! Both can be picked up for £1200+

sv will be cheaper to insure than a VFR. Import and a sports bike. Ebay FTW. I sold my smashed up one on there. Loads to choose from.
