Can you even buy a BAD sportbike?

Ummm...I would call them what the manufacturer calls them - Standard

Funny that almost none of bikes being mentioned are even sportbikes...

the 650r and fz6r are sport bikes...

zx6r and r6 are Super sport bikes...

Well, fact of the matter is, you can't go wrong buying a zxcbrgsxrr600rrrr. They're undeniably reliable and relatively cheap to fix because used parts are everywhere.

So, in order to even discuss whether or not you can buy a bad sportbike, you gotta look at the more obscure and less popular models out there.

IMHO. the new Katana or the GSX650F is a bad buy. One its got a steel tube frame. and for the same price you can buy something that at least has a perimeter-spar or dual-trestel design. On top of that its a 650cc which bumps you out of the 600cc class. Thirdly, it looks like a gizzer, but isn't. everytime your at the pub somebody will ask you if its a gixxer and you will have to explain that its not, its neither that gixxer nor the Katana its a GSX650F, if you can ever say that series of alphas.

bench reviews.

the faired bandit is a nice budget sport tourer going on ride reviews.

Those Zongshen bikes look downright scary.
