Hi guys,
I'm very much in the same position as Yamato here with about the same budget, and looking at about the same bikes. Having said that, I don't mind going for a 2nd hand with some guidance.
My main consideration is this :-
I've rode 150cc 2 stroke bikes in my younger days (RXZ- 135cc and a Suzuki Gama - 150cc). These bikes could do 160-180km/h, and i can handle them quite well.
My research shows that 250cc bikes like the Ninja or the Honda CBR can do about the same speed as the 2 stroke 150cc. Is this true?
I was hoping that to do 200++. I could easily do 160 in my car so I don't think it will be exciting / fun to ride. What is the use of having a fierce looking superbike if a RXZ or Suzuki could pose a serious threat?
If I go straight to a bigger bike like a 600cc, will I be able to handle the power?
Thanks guys.

QUOTE(mikehwy @ Jun 19 2013, 02:37 PM) 600 cc is pricy wor. i prefer kawasaki of any model as i rode few kawa scramblers and trailers before. I'm looking at a new Naza Blade 650 or a used ER6-n / ER6-f .... its kinda hard to make a decision. I love the CBR600RR but its way out of my budget. |

QUOTE(ivanlim84 @ Jun 19 2013, 01:17 PM) It looks like u r intor speed. You should go for >600cc. 250s will not be able to satisfy your thirst for speed. I have owned ninja 250 and er6n. ninja 250r could not reach 160.. Maybe a few mod here and there.. Road condition bla bla.. Er6n can reach 160 ++ but the wind blast is bloody strong. If put windshield, will help a bit but not much. Bear in mind it s a naked bike. Versys might be able to do it but it is not for speed demon. So, go for superbike but try to tame urself first in handling the bike. I am sure you will be able handle the speed after awhile. Just my humble advise no matter what bike you get, be humble on the road no matter what bike u r riding and also no matter how much is ur bike. There are no price tag for life. So, appreciate other ppl's life on the road and also ur life. Thanks for the info.. I'm a safe rider.. only speed on empty roads  |

Guys,
Between a used ER6f and a brand new Blade 650, which should I go for?
Will I have to spend much on a 1 or 2 year ER6F, i.e. tire change and other wear and tear.
Also, If i were to sell the bike after a year, also taking into account maintenance, which will be a better deal?
