Whoever accused the VFR of being slow or a starter bike? That bike snorts along quite nicely thankyou!

If it's any consolation, the Blast DOES suck nuts.

i'd suggest SV650 as well.

katanas are waaay to hefty for me to recommend one

why? :idk: he just a lil guy?

Ask him if he wants to get laid. If so tell him to get a "K8 Gixxer 1" and invest the rest of his money into Abercrombie and Flip Flops. Riding is all about image anyways.

A bike I'd recommend is the Yamaha XJ600 (SecaII). I got a 1994 SecaII for $1500 for my first bike. It was as fast as a stock 350z up until 80mph then the 350z was gone. Very nimble and good midrange tq for great city driving. It could cruise comfortably and not be screaming at 80mph on the interstate and have found out they were nicknamed the "Swiss Army Bike" because they could do it all and were very dependable. I got it to a 135mph on the Spedo one time. Took a while to get there but it got there (With me in shorts at that time)

I sold mine after a few months and got a CBR600 F3 but I still miss that Yamaha SecaII. Which after I sold it the bike was wrecked at 55mph and still running strong. Then had a 400lb rider on it for a while who wrecked it and had the bike get ran over by a truck. I rode the bike the next day. I swear a freaking tank.

But so far some good recomendations have been made. Not sure about the VFR though.

dunno but im a fairly big guy and i dont feel anywhere near comfy with em
