Answer 1

I have been the owner of a Kawasaki Ninja 650 for nearly a year, and before that, I had a Ninja 250. Motorcycles are fairly cheap to maintain. I would go with a 600cc if I were you. I am also rather partial to Kawasaki bikes. I've heard Honda is expensive to replace parts, and that Yamaha is a bit more prone to "break" because of the manner in which they design their engines.

I don't know much about Suzuki - but I imagine they are good.

All of the Japanese bikes are pretty good as far as quality - but I like Kawi the best.

Good luck!

What is gonna make the biggest diff. in maintance cost. Is if your looking to buy a high end sport bike or a standard. Standards are usualy built for everyday use, and longer intervels between service and tuneups. Also they'll last longer due to heavy duty parts and lower clylinder compression. take a look at kawi z1000 yamaha fz modlels, honda 600 and the 900. I own 3 yamaha's one of which is a 88 radian 600.Its a standard. it runs fine and i've spent more money on tires over the years than anything else. My only repairs on it has been a new cluch about 400 and a carb clean tune up with all new gromets. about 550. Also if you go for a bike that has been on the market for a few years there will be more aftermarket companys producing replacment and custom parts at a lower price than what a new design will cost.

Actually, the weight difference today is minimal. 2011 ZX6R vs 2011 ZX10R is only 13 lbs (per Kawasaki specs). Not nearly enough to make a major difference in handling, though coupled with the wire rear tire and slightly longer wheelbase, the ZX10R Will feel less nimble at the limits. The biggest difference is that the 600's don't have the torque through the mid-range. They are called "tame" by some (and they are, in a racetrack setting) through that middle section of RPMs and only Really start to scoot once you get to the upper quarter of the total RPM range. The liter bikes have torque, grunt, pull... whatever you want to call it, at pretty much all RPMs. This can be fun, but turns the bike into more of an automatic (less need to shift) ~ that detracts from the riding experience for myself... er, the Sport riding experience. On a 2-up touring bike where I'm just putzing along, I appreciate the grunt of a liter bike, even though there's less HP than a modern day 600 sportbike. Other than the Torque difference, the liter bike is not really any more aggressive. If I were going to buy a sportbike, I'd stick with the 600's myself. I like handling over horsepower, and the 600 has More than enough HP to get me into any kind of trouble I want, but you can't replace handling. Actually, I was recently looking at an import 250 2-stroke for my next bike, specifically for the handling. You have to ask yourself what's more important to you (and check insurance rates, it might be that money is the deciding factor).

Answer 4

I think to maintain a 600 cc bike will definitely be cheaper as compared to 1000cc bike.I think Honda or bajaj Kawasaki or Royal enfield are better options.

Answer 5

They're all actually VERY reliable.

But if you go by fine line number crunching spreadsheets, Honda is the most reliable brand on the market today.

Answer 6

The 600cc Bike is low on maintenance.
