Looking for my first ST bike, need some suggestions

 If I can find a cheap one, a 1200/1250 Bandit or ZRX11/12.

Grade A idea haha. I picked up a 600 Bandit dirt cheap a while back and I love it. I guess people arent really into them and you can pick them up cheap. Im 6"3 and the 600 is comfortable I think. Dont think you could go wrong there.

I'm brand new to this board and coming from the exact opposite place (dual-sport).  Thanks for the list, it gives me a great place to start.

Right now thinking about moving up to the Sprint GT, but the VFR or FZ1 are definitely intriguing.

All three of those are GREAT bikes. I really like my VFR.

I would get a kawasaki concours 2000 to 2005 for the money they can not be beat and I've seen them with over 100K

Interesting enough I was originally looking at a FZ1 and ended up with a Concours ... been a joy so far after being out of riding for 15 years .
