I'm starting to save money up for a sport bike. I've been looking for used motor cycles online and it seems that Hondas are cheaper sport bikes? I tried looking up gxrs and there were only like 2 around my area and were a lot more expensive then the CBRS
Are Hondas cheaper or am I just bad at searching lol...

thats a big year range.
basically all the bikes have their strong points.
recognised points are:
Yamaha's had gearbox problems.
Suzuki has soft paint (ages quickest) and not long term reliable unless maintained.
Kawasaki hasn't got any major problems except they were down on power compared.
Honda was down on power as well but they had the softer option in the 600's. the CBR600F is more a sports tourer than a race rep. they are known for reliability over the years.
the GSXR 600 is going to be thrashed and abused as is the ZXR600.
the YZF600 is a soft tourer and should be avoided. An early R6 would be better but again thrashed.
the Honda is a good learner bike but can be a little dull. but its less likely to be as thrashed.
all these are the oz versions and should be the same in the US of Bush.
(side note: you guys might be embarrassed by your president but our prime ministers lips are permanently attached to Bush's ring! That's embarrassment)
you need to price up versions and year models. you may find a cheaper 96 model but a 94 may be in better condition.
Z-fanatic would be the best guy for you. he knows all the US versions and prices. and has a flower in his car (coughpoofcough)
