Brembo! Look through some of the older threads..there are some similar discussions as well.
The most popular MC over here is the Honda CBR. You can get 400 and 600, though finding a good 600 is hard.
If you're getting one to toy around with on weekends, go for some 400cc Honda or Yamaha as first choice. If you plan to take it more serious in a few months then go for a 600cc straight away. Notice the higher you go, the easier you can kill yourself. If its your first bike, go for something small.
Also, if you're new, get a 2nd hand one, as you'll surely drop it a few times.
Insurance...that's become really hard. Many companies that used to do bike insurance refuse to do it anymore. Apparently the claims against bikes has gone up like crazy....sounds wierd, but the culprits are those pizza and aramex delivery guys that try to sneak in between cars and scratch your sides while doing it.
I got my bike re-insured last year after a tip from ICE (where is ICE btw??). Some insurance broker sitting in Karama in Al-Attar Business center gave good rates. I think it was called Omega something. Again, search old topics as there are some other tips as well.
