You could always go for a retro ride once ready, with something like my bro's triumph....

This is the Retro British ride i'd go for, slow, impractical, noisy, uncomfortable, sh*te handling but i wouldn't care when it look's like this
It's an early 70's Triumph 650 chop, sold on E-bay for 3K a while ago.

do it and get a monster of a bike (my last one was a zx12r with a engine full of muzzy tuning parts and 186bhp at the wheel god i miss that bike so much :cry: :cry: :cry: ) and go and ride the guts off it for ten mins.
then once you stop shaking vow never to that again
no seriously tho if you aint used to modern sports bikes (and they are some serious bits of kit when you want them to be) working up to a bigger bike is a very good idea IF you have the will power that i never did :?
in saying that get some thing like a early 90,s zzr 600/cbr 600 still a very capable machine but nice and cheap and if you bin it just street fighter it :twisted:
and a good stepping stone to bigger/more powerfull machines (that you will NEED !!!!!) lol
and as said above dont skimp on protection for your self a good quality set of leathers/boots/gloves/helmet are esential

yep threads like this are bad news for me :evil:
im on a wife enforced lay off with motor bikes after i was coming back from donnington one day on the m1 doing way too many mph (in top cog hitting rev limiter :twisted:
) when a side wind blew me about 6 inches the wrong side of the central reservation line in the crap at the side of the motorway scarey as feck as the bike went sideways at 170+!!!!!
my mate then proceded to tell the boss all about it (knob end)
the zx12r was for sale 2 days later :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
