Easier to ride than the 125, obviously much faster even with the restrictor kit and as you mentioned a bit on the heavy side. The brakes are fantastic, slow speed manoeuvres- easy peasy, fuel consumption-acceptable+ cheaper premium than on my 125! Overall, love it!

I’ve had a Suzuki Bandit 600, and a Honda Hornet as courtesy bikes when my own has been in for service, and I would say that anyone planning motorway miles will definitely appreciate the small but effective half fairing found on the Fazer, SV650 and similar (a bubble screen will add even more comfort).

Close to my heart, but a great first big bike. Four cylinder, 600c, 95bhp and top speed of 135mph. Weighing in a just 189Kg, it’s an easy bike to handle, and can easily be picked up for £1000-2000. Though, some do fine it a spot on the tall side.
