More info please corks. What kind of bikes does he like? What does he
want to use it for? Any other limitations than those mentioned?

[corks]

bit vague, he wants 600cc or over and no cruisers

so im guessing retro or older sports bikes are okay

pillion friendly a plus

im thinking fj1200, zzr600, older zx6r, cbr1000 ?????

vague :-)

Hiya Corks.
You'll probably be able to pick up a 2000 Hornet 600S (half faired) for
around $5 thou, Will be able to pick up 97-98 Hornet 600 (naked) for less.

Aido. :)>

You could also pick up Kawasaki Zephyrs, early Yammy XJ1200's, CB600F's
and a horde of others.

yes... more info needed.

Well with the ZR-7 it's a 4. It's very comfy and has a nice none crippling
riding position. Can easly do long days on the road with this bike. It's
sporty enough to have fun with out going warp speeds. The pillion seat is
wide and comfortable for pillions. As for it's reliability the motor is the
same as the old air cooled GPz motors which have been described as
bulletproof (As read on websites). The only thing I would change is to have
better brakes up front. New fluid and pads might sort that out. Another
good point is that it's not a Honda ;)

For f**ks sake corks, this "asked by a work colleague" isn't gonna wash.

Standing in front of a mirror at work and asking "what bike to get" does NOT qualify as "asked by a work colleague"

You haven't even sold the R6 yet and already you're looking for a cheaper replacement.
