Been thinking about this.......
Although I realise the insurance is also something you need to take into consideration, I reckon that your budget should get you a pretty decent bike.
Around 12 months ago I bought a 2002 900ss for the bargain price of £2500. It had only 5,000 miles on the clock, was in reasonable condition (although it looks like it may have been dropped once and then repaired). This was on eBay.
Last week, this half faired 1999 750ss went for £1650 on eBay -

Anyway, point is, I reckon that for around £2,000 or perhaps less you should be able to find a pretty good injected 750ss. If your insurance is a little steep, well spend the money you've saved from your £2500 budget.
I'd also look for something that had aftermarket exhausts, otherwise that'll be something else you'll need to be spending money on........
