    hi,

    as per my previous thread my bike is gone kaput.
    i wasnt planning on buying a bike any time soon but things happen.

    i have 3000eu to spend and need some advice.
    the bike shop i use have offered me a 97 bandit 600 for 2350 .
    ive ridden it and it is nice, cept maybe a little too "sit up striaght" for my liking

    has nay one got any advice on bikesi shoul be looking at?
    possibly a sports bike type but doubt ill get a good cond. one for that money.

    help,
    this has kind of been thrown at me and i dont want to make a wrong choice.

    i have full license so dont need restrictors etc..

    I got my SV-650s for €3200. It was a 2000 with good low mileage. Try looking around buy and sell if you know what to look for. Also ask any friends as they can often tell you whats around. €2350 is a bit much for an old Bandit. Three grand should get you alot of bike if you buy private. It won't get you much of one from a shop.

    Plenty of 1990's CBR600s going cheap in the North and Britain. VRT goes way down with the age of the bike so it's not an issue. Only problem might be insurance. They're fast, cheap and reliable but watch out for crash damage etc. (as you would buying any secondhand bike, also make sure frame no, engine no. and all documents are present and correct.)

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
