What is a good reasonably priced beginner sport bike?

I have been interested in the Suzuki Bandits and SV 650s because they are good beginner sport bikes that you can pick up for under $2500 used. Is there any similar bikes that you would recommend along those lines?|||SV650 or Ninja 650R are great choices. They aren't classified as sport bikes though. These are sport tourers, or hybrids.





Kawasaki makes the ZZR600 which is a sport bike that isn't race tuned like the ZX-6R. Yamaha makes the YZF600R which is also a sport bike that is not race tuned like the R6. Suzuki doesn't have a non race 600 bike. They had the Katana but you don't want one of those anyway.





For $2500 you will be purchasing some headaches along with the bike. You'll need about another $1K to get something decent.|||Sv650 is a very good choice, its probably the most recommended starter bike. You might want to stay away from full faring bikes because they are expensive to drop. T he other good thing with the SV is that once you outgrow it you can turn in into a decent track bike.|||The Honda CBR 600 is the most forgiving sport bike. The CBR 600 generally has a good balance of power and torque, and it is less likely to do a front flip on you if you have to slam on the brakes. If you're just looking for a good beginner bike I would go with the Honda Shadow 600.|||The SV is an excellent choice for sure. Here are just a couple examples of what you should expect to pay used.
