Can you get superbikes for 600 money?

Fancy a zero-mileage 1000 for less than the price of an R6? There are a host of unregistered 1000 superbikes out there available for the price of a new 600. But can you get true superbike performance for 600s money?

The answer is a resounding ‘yes’ – if you’re prepared to compromise a little. With a bit of bit of digging we found not just just brand new bargain 600s.

Better than that we unearthed a selection of brand new, full-bore 180mph superbikes costing the equivalent of 600 money from a few years ago – around £7000 on the road.
