Look into insurance first, especially if you're in Ontarionicotinebar wrote: ↑ Hi Guys,
I need some suggestions as to the title suggestion which bike can I can consider, used, 600cc n up and budget of 5k - 7k.
I am a new rider and also what to look for when buying a used bike?
Thanks,
Might sound crazy, but I actually like my 250 more than the SV I had. SV is top heavy, the power is nice, but the 250 is sooooo much more agile. The 300s are good too. And the 250/300 aren't furances between your legs if you're in traffic.

That said 600cc and up is a little vague. What type of riding will you be doing? What type of bike are you looking at? Cruiser, adventure, sport bike, dual sport, motard etc.
I started with a 03 suzuki 600 katana, put 116k on it and then bought a 06 honda VFR 800 "sport touring" bike in 2009. Loved the vfr for eating up the miles still a ton of fun in the twisties. Both bikes at the time were considered sport touring and insurance was better than a sport bike.
600 sport bikes are dying off but naked bike lines are expanding.
If you can provide more info on what you want the bike for you'll get better answers.
Yes, check the insurance first. Better safe than sorry! LOLnicotinebar wrote: ↑ I am looking for sports bike and general riding. I will look into insurance however my age is 32 will that impact?
Won't matter too much. They are rated by years of experience more so than age now. Even 300cc bikes unless you live in middle of nowhere will be close to $1000.nicotinebar wrote: ↑ I am looking for sports bike and general riding. I will look into insurance however my age is 32 will that impact?
I believe most of the people will suggest you to start with a small cc bike first. I don't ride anymore, but I remembered when I was around 25ish, I bought a Kawasaki ZX6R, and I was paying around $600 for insurance with TD. I live in Waterloo not Burlington. If you insist of starting off with a higher cc bike, I recommend something like a ninja 650, can't remember the exact name, but something along those lines. As long as the engine is not an inline 4, it should be a little more "tame" to control. Just my opinion though, please correct me if I am wrongnicotinebar wrote: ↑ So are you guys suggesting to start with a lower cc model bike > get that 1 year exp > jump up to 600 cc bike and that way my insurance get lower?
What would be average insurance rate? I am in Burlington?
Burlington is very cheap for insurance. I am paying $56/ month for an 848 evo . Never bought a 2-300 cc to start with . 848 evo was/is my first. But yeah like everyone said first check insurance.nicotinebar wrote: ↑ So are you guys suggesting to start with a lower cc model bike > get that 1 year exp > jump up to 600 cc bike and that way my insurance get lower?
