3 - 2 - 1 and we are back in the thread. A GSXR 750 SRAD would be a cracking choice for a first bike, keep it for 12 months, sell it for almost as much as you bought it for, then spend £3K on a bike he wants, not what he thinks he wants now. He may want a Blade, a VFR400 or a cruiser after 12 months.
