I've also considered getting an ss just because I've always wanted one. Its completely not practical but sometimes you just have to live. I will say ~$6k for an ~10 year old bike like the one you posted is pushing the expensive side IMO but ss bikes tend to be that way. VFR is on my list too but I feel I need to scratch that ss itch even if only for a few years.Hey guys, wow thank you all for the responses! I can always count on GTAM to help cure me of some ill conceived notion! I considered an SS because I've always wanted to at least own one for a little while to check it out, but I don't think my riding style is suited for it.
I've considered the CBR500 but the CB500F was already in my stable and not sure I want to go that same platform (although I quite enjoyed it), and the 500s are fairly affordable.
I will look into the FZ6 ( I think it's the FZ6R that's not rated well if I recall some threads here), and the VFR800 is a dream bike for me that I've always lusted over, but not sure I wanted to go up to 800cc yet. As you mostly know I'm a tame rider, and not looking for razor sharp performance.
This is one 600SS I considered: https://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes...bo/1380901356?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
I'll call insurance just for kicks to see what they say, I HOPE that my 6 years of riding trouble free won't put a huge markup on my insurance...but most likely will end up with some ST platform instead.
One of my buddies actually had a CB600 F4i and it seemed fairly comfortable. I think it was on here that a member bought one long distance as well. Buddy sold the F4i and went to a CBR600RR and while uncomfortable...the performance was miles above beyond my CB500F....he said my bike felt very very slow in comparison!
