In the next month I will be looking at getting my first big bike. Currently I ride a Yamaha YBR 125 and I did my DAS on a ER-5.
So out of the following bikes what would you suggest a new rider get and a brief description why would be nice as well.
I am looking for a bike that as a new rider is going to be forgiving and still give me some fun.
Easy to maintain and not to expensive hopefully if things go wrong are on the list as well. I have included the mileage of the bike to give you an idea of not only age but how much the bike has been used.
Bike 1 - 2003 ZZR 600cc done about 23,000 Miles
Bike 2 - 2004 Hornet F-4 done about 3000 Miles.
Bike 3 - 2001 Bandit done about 21000 Miles
Bike 4 - 2003 Honda CB 500 done about 14000 Miles
Bike 5 - 2003 TRIUMPH TT600 done about 7000 Miles
Bike 6 - 2004 04 Reg YAMAHA FZ 600 done about 11000 Miles

All great bikes and as long as they are in good order , any of them would be ideal for your first year, personally I would say the bandit, but i guess I'm biased, but they are excellent bikes, low maintenance, comfortable, reliable, cost friendly and they can be thrown around easily enough to have scratchin fun or there just as happy cruising.
Good luck.
