Hi all...

I'm new to the forum and to be honest feel quite out of touch with bikes. It has been a good 6-7 years since I've ridden. Was wondering what you reckon a good bike to get back into riding would be. Would it be wise to hop back on a 250 for a while or something in the 600 range be suitable?

Any comments would be greatly appreciated

Cheers.

What's your licence status?

if you have rode before and im geussing your on ya fulls id say go for an older 600 like around 98-02 model or there abouts.

Current 600s are pretty quick! I've you've been out for a while, borrow a bike if you can and see what your slow riding etc is like for a while. Make a judgement call then perhaps.

chances are he'll do the same again.

Worth a try anyway. Thanks for the heads up Chrissybenn.

What have you ridden previously?

Seriously though, I think if you're just after something nice and/or cheap then it might be a good option to get an older 600 like an CBR600F4 or something. Otherwise, if you're in the market for a new bike its just going to be pretty dependant on how much riding you did before your long break. If you were riding big bikes for a while beforehand I doubt you've forgotten enough to be dangerous on a 1000 if thats what you were thinking of as an alternative.
