Don't use text talk,too many old people on here won't understand what you're on about 
Go straight to a litre bike. Save you having to upgrade. You'll soon get use the power of a 600 and get bored of it. The throttle works both ways!

I did my direct access had a sv 650 for 6 months then went out and brought a zx10r easier to ride than any six hundred goes as fast as ya twist your wrist.
IT'S ONLY METAL HIT IT HARDER !!!!!!!
Re: Help
Only trouble with sports 600's is they are so peaky and not the best to hone your new found skills on. Sometimes a bigger bike with a more forgiving nature is betterer. Or a naked with some lower down torque. Depends if he's set on a sports 600 or not. I'm biased anyway as I'm too old and creaky for a CBRZXRYZFGSXR

Re: Help
Arn't there new regs on what you can ride after passing your test? Trying to ride a strangled restricted 1000??
If you are set on a sports 600, personally I would choose a GSXR, according to the road tests its the best road user friendly rather than totally track based, but then......I'm incredibly biased
I would also consider a sporty 400 as it is bhp legal but no restriction so you get a proper power spread and nimble handling. Good re-sale value when you want to upgrade after your restriction period ends too ;) .

Re: Help
It's all very well wanting a Sports 600 or 1000 but the insurance will probably cost more than the Bike.
