hi Rui,
That is the amazingly open question that comes around so often; do you want a new one? --take a look here maybe: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...n-suzuki-28587

Or you can read into the rest of this thread for "which bike" and consider everything that has been discussed in very great detail. After that, you can change your mind a half dozen times or more and end up buying a bike that you have never considered up to now (probably while keeping the one or more that you happen to own now!).

That's about how I do things anyway!!

Cheers,

Fair enough Rui; it is a good bike I would think; I haven't ridden the Suzi 500 but the Honda and Kawasaki 500s are nice to ride - very light and flickable in the bends; I like "the look" of the Kawa KLE - 500cc with a twin engine. There are a few threads for it in here.
Enjoy the decision process and making up your mind!!

my friend the bandit

G·day,
I had a bandit 650 and was very satisfied.
This bike in the 1250 version, could be what You are looking for.
Super bike and super price!
That is if You want similar "type" of bike: road bike.
If not: I·ve got the wee strom and this bike can do a bit of everything!

Your choise my friend, and I wish You lots of love, peace and good riding,
Cheers .... Dan
