Hi everyone, new to the sub!

I’m about to buy my second bike and I'm looking for an in-line 4. I could really use some perspective because I’m about to drop almost all of my savings on this (budget is 2k euros).

• 2006 Honda Hornet 600: This was my first choice because I really love the look, the sound and the inverted forks. My main concern is that it has carburators that might cause problems (like in winter), especially since I don't have a huge budget left for frequent shop visits.
• 2007 Suzuki GSR 600: This bike is better in almost everything: the 2 main points are the aluminum frame and the electronic injection. The problem is I’m just not feeling the aesthetics, especially the integrated turning signals and the colours (I've only found grey ones and it doesn't really fit this bike). I don't mind the tail's look but again, the Hornet wins on that too.

I know the Honda is praised for its reliability but I'm just worried about the carburators subject... it's a 20yo bike after all.

Should I go for the look of the Honda or the technical superiority of the Suzuki?

I would love to hear from anyone who has owned either (or both)! Thanks!

p.s. english is not my first language, I apologise for any errors 😅
