    Query Approved

    A legal Busa/ R1 at that price? I am not too sure.

    Why not buy a new Kawa/ Benelli 600ish?

      I would suggest the new 2017 Kawasaki Ninja 650. Fits in your budget, looks awesome, weighs around 38kgs less than the Benelli tnt600 and and seems kind of all-round bike.

      Ooh but the sound of Benelli gives you goosebumps.

          Hyosung does not appeal to many people and would generally fetch a very little resale value.

          This is the ownership thread and would help you loads in deciding whether to go for it!

            Thanks for the link..After reading this i dont think hyosung is worth buying. Will be test riding the benelli tnt600i once and also the kawasaki ninja 650 then will come to a conclusion

              You wont get a Busa or R1 for that price unless its a decade old bike and you got be sure from whom you are buying. IMO, I would stay out of such deals when someone offers at that price. Instead, I will look for a pre-owned Z800 or a Street Triple.

              If you want a new one, you can check the 600i and Z650. But all bikes has its own pros and cons. You must first make up your mind as for what purpose you are buying the toy for - daily commute, occasional rides, or just weekend toy.

              Decide and then look for options. Finance is also an important thing, as time goes by, it will eat up your bank balance for Maintenance and operational costs.

                        If i was in your position I'd definitely look for a used Kawsaki Z800 or a triumph Street triple (Triumph spares are not available easily).if you buy a Kawasaki see if there is a service center near you.If you buying sbk for the first time you can try the new 650 from Kawsaki which has the rider aids to support you. Choose wisely and don't regret later.Make up your mind why do you want this machine and choose.My verdict Kawsaki 650 seems very versatile on paper.You can go for a spin and decide.

                          Surely will test ride ninja 650 as many of you guys have recomended it. And will try the z800 also as i have never ridden it.

                              Z800 is a bit too overpowered compared to the 650.Ride safe always put on your gear.Buy that first before even thinking to own a sbk
