hey i ride a ER6N love it its good to filter looks good and easy to ride and fun I have only had this bike since April and its a good first big bike.The insurance is quite cheep too.Its not to heavy either. Its a very forgiving bike for your first bike.The best thing to do is to look at the bikes a judge it for yourself i did i sat on them and got it down to the one am riding now.When i do change mine in a year or so it will be for a Z750 the same type of bike. Hope that helps :smile

Sv650

Another one not on the list but its my first big bike and is amazing and used all through the year.
I originally looked at the Hornet but the Suzuki SV650 comes in two insurance groups cheaper aswell as being cheaper.
Good luck and happy hunting
