Hey guys, looking to get into the sportbike world.

Driving will generally be just cafe/weekend city fun. Not for daily commute, no highway runs. *(for now)

The BRZ is great because it fit the bill of a light, affordable, reliable sports car that focuses on driver engagement and fun for most environments, great focus on chassis design.

So, for all the seasoned motor riders out there, are there any light sportbikes that fit this design principle? At the back of my head, the most purist version i think is the KTM RC390? Just worried that it may be more of a track spec thing already. Another choice would be the yamaha r3.

Any ideas and wisdom you can impart on a motorbike to pick?
