Just as a note, I started on a ZZR250 in April of my first year, it broke down in August, and then I bought a different 250 (CBR250 this time) until the following August when I went to my first SV650S.
That extra time on the second 250 was well worth it, experience and costwise.

I thought this was practically the definition of a hooligan bike meaning very likely to lose your license. Also, any time I've gotten a quote for one of these it was crazy.

Consider taking a look at the Triumph Street Triple 675R. I haven't heard anyone say bad things about it. I personally find it much more attractive than the FZ07/FZ09 and it has the nice 3 cylinder growl. Have had my M2 for just over a year and TD quoted me $1530/yr full coverage too!
Agree about the insurance on the street triple. Ive been quoted 1800 or so for that and 5.5k for an fz09. Thats being over 25, full M, clean record outside of a nonfault, and 4 years experience. Personally im a fan of just buying something that's "cheap" to you but still as close to what you want as possible (we all cant afford superdukes
)and riding the **** out of it.

Well it does fit the bill of hooligan bike and will wheelie in 1st and 2nd on throttle but the power up high is docile making it less likely to induce 3 digit speeds in unneeded places in my opinon.. as far as ins. i pay less than 1k per year, 800 and something if memory serves with TD.. late 20s, full M and half dozen years experience with clean record for what its worth
Fair enough. Right now I'm at about $1920/yr total for all 3 vehicles.

If I hadn't gotten myself a gladius recently, I'd look into this. It's in Ottawa though so might be taking a risk in not liking it.
Could do a weekend trip to the capital and check it out.

Keep in mind hes only got 3 months of experience
So, a naked bike that puts out well over 100hp with a wild engine, and a light front wheel might not be the best decision.
Especially since OP seems to be budget conscious, and is looking for something around 600ish CC
This would rule out the street triple(even the 675 one) and the Fz 09

I've got the CB500F....great bike and a good step up from the 250 I had previously. I like the look and feel of it, not too silly on the road, and is forgiving of errors when riding. I've put about 15k on mine and have enjoyed it well. Highly recommend.
And on this note I'm off to order an H2
. I hope you're being sarcastic. I'm quite aware that as someone else mentioned, I'm barely scratching the surface with what is more like 2 months of actual riding experience. I just got a little bored with the 250 and want something with a little more power. I fully understand that I would have to adjust and respect the power, especially at first.Im going to start to sound pretty picky, and tbh I am, but I'd rather something with a little less kms. Really is a good price and nice looking bike though, I might send my buddy in Ott to take a look at it. Also posted a month ago, so it may well be sold already.
I think most people are thinking the 675 street triple, which is great bike and I really like them. Insurance is pretty decent on it, but most of the Triumphs I've seen are a little out of my budget I'd say. If I could find one for 6-7k I'd be very interested but would be stretching the budget a bit. Also considering the FZ07 after talking to a couple brokers today but yeah the FZ09 is ruled out, a little too much bike for me just yet, and truly the FZ8 probably would've been too.
Appreciate all of your insights though, this was my first post on gtam and tons of responses, you guys have turned me into a fan of the site for sure!

There is not a huge different between the new and old street trip, both make over 100hp, and while it may not be the psycho the FZ 09 is...its still a lot of bike
Just my 2 cents, based on everything you have told me, including your budget, id still say a good SV is your best bet

this does look like a good deal
and OP, the km shouldn't concern you
30K is nothing on that engine, it's bulletproof
as long as the maint. records are available, no worries
one concern with that bike though
most FZ6's that turned into street fighters
is because they were crashed and it's cheaper to do that
than replace everything else
an inspection by someone who knows what to look for should be able to rule that out

That bikes price started around 3800 a couple months ago. I was seriously considering it but ended up getting a gladius (wanted to try a vtwin).
You'll never know until you check it out in person but apparently he has all the original plastics and takes them off in summer and puts them back on when it gets colder. In pictures it looks pretty clean.

Thanks!! I'm going to shoot them a message and see what happens. I like the bike and hard to look past the price if it's really in the shape that shows in those pictures. I wouldn't know any shops in that area, would I be crazy to not have it inspected in the case it had been babied, he had original plastics and some maintenance records?
