Overrun

Cheers Manxie, I had never heard of a Z900 until you suggested it and I was really close to getting one but in the end for some reason I ordered a ZXR6. So many good things said about it, maybe if I end up with back ache I will change to the Z900 or another that I came close to getting was the Suzuki GSXS 1000F

Hi all, just thought I would ask here about which bike to get after a long gap to try and help me make up my mind. I have only ridden two bikes ever. A crappy 125 for a year back when I was like 18. Then when I was in my early 20s I borrowed a Honda CBR1000F for a couple of months. I loved the thing although it was a bit heavy at 250kg. Since then, I always wanted to get a something with a bit of grunt. Then 30 years went by somehow but I still have the urge. I am looking for something which is fun to ride, not too tall as I am only 5’6. I won’t be commuting just riding occasionally for the hell of it but don’t want anything too track focused either. I was thinking along the lines of a GSXR 600 as a 1000 might be a bit spicy but suggestions welcome. I am also looking at other types like touring/cruiser etc but I might go to them if I find a racer too uncomfortable in the long term.
