Something low and cheap to drop for the first year or so. Maybe Diversion600 as they are cheap to fix.
What about the versys 1000? I'm looking at getting one of these and selling the fazer.

I'm glad it's not just me. I never had the misfortune to own one but i had one forced upon me as a 'courtesy' bike when my Thunderbird Sport was in for it's first service. the engine felt like it was trying to rev through treacle and then when it did eventually get up to any sort of speed, the brakes refused to slow it down again. It wobbled and wallowed over cat's eyes and road imperfections and generally handled like a pig on roller skates. If you really want to put a newbie off bikes before they get into them, I would suggest this is probably one of the best bikes to do it with.
