Go with a used FZR600 by yamaha. Plenty of cheap parts, right price range and plenty fast enough. Not as fast as the newer bikes but it will still kill you.

If you're going to get a bike might as well get a gsxr1000 or something faster... All I'm saying is if you are going to die might as well look good right?

I'm gonna second the FZR600, great bang for the buck. What kind of power are you looking for two or three digit HP?

Less than 3Gs sounds used and as I recall, you're not exactly in an urban center. Been a while since I played Easy Rider but, it never ceased to amaze me how many Honda shops could be found in the middle of absolute bumfuck, nowhere.

Honda just on build quality alone, any other [Jap] makes will require more maintenance.

CBR600s are really hard to kill and will do pretty much anything you want for pennies. People who know them like the steel framed 90's model best, the latest models are more track focused and not as good as road bikes. When you see how fast one of these things really can be you realise you do not need anything faster... for a long while at least !

i'm a big fan of the Kawasaki Ninja's and the Yamaha R6/1's
not so keen on the honda as it feels too wide and long for me
Ninja is a great bike, I've had a 636 for a few years now and love it
Oh and its fast, i've had her well over 150 and its capable of over 165mph
