Hmmmm, can't crank sports tourers over.........must remember that next time I'm out on my ST!
I know what you're saying Ed, but it's not always about the pigeon hole that a bike has been placed in.
With a correctly set up bike, you can have as much fun as you want.
The trick I've found is to get a bike that fits you physically first, then get on with learning how to get the most out of it.
Keep looking, you'll soon find something.

Errr CB500 Ask James Toseland about the handling

Ed, mum here!
Wee JB & Rushjob are right, you know (oldies usually are ). Even our Bex, had a non sportsbike for 2 years, before the NC21 to gain the cheap insurance, as well as experience.
When I came back to it, I got a non faired bike (as I still have), to buld up the no claims etc. You would be suprised at what you might be able to get - its a bike isnt it?
Kwak 600's way too much for ins arent they?
What about the older semi faired GPZ'/X'ss - slightly taller, and poss on classic ins? Still capable of 140mph. (in 1984 the GPZ600r had a lean angle of 51%, before anything touched - not as good as the 999, but still a long way down) prob around the £1000 mark to buy. Full faired, they are more upright position, like todays sports tourers.
Also the older GP550's were quick faired bike - again cheaper to insure.
1980's CBR600s - FZR 400 (was a taller bike) or FZR600

Food for thought son:d

Luv,

CK

ps - I take offence that you cant get an unfaired bike 'over'. Come to our monster track day sonny!
