There are plenty of bikes you can try.... see link below

They key thing is the weight... not for riding but when you have to move by your own power... car park... cleaning .... and so on. The last thing you want is to pull up at a rideout to show your mates your new pride and joy only to drop when your trying to park it. I did it quite a few times on me first 600 fazer, they hurt quite a bit when the fall on you too. Stupid but I'm glad it wasn't brand new... but I may be the exceptioon rather than the rule... being as I'm not the tallest gnome in the garden

Restricting a 600 is perfectly fine, it will still ride perfectly fine and still see 130mph odd

Restricting the 600 is Defo the best idea, plus when your restrictions over it will feel like a whole new bike again :)

You can buy my k5 gsxr 600 for £3k if you want ;)
