Hey guys,

Passed my MOD2 today, woooo :)

Had CBT on saturday having never ridden a motorcycle(wish i started earlier, so fun!), had mod1 on wednesday, and mod2 today. Was so happy to pass!

Now to look for a bike...

Been looking at the 600 bandit, but would have to be restricted to 33 bhp hmm..


What were your first bikes?
 
Hey, thank you man :D

I have seen a few sv 650s at my uni, look decent!

I deffo want a bigger bike, so probably 600+, was sick of the 125 already and only rode it for a week!

Is the jump still noticeable even though the sv650 was restricted to 33bhp?
 
Well done !

I had a restricted 600 bandit, it's a big lump of a machine and wheezy at 33hp, you'd be better getting a lighter 33hp bike and enjoying the ride rather than wondering what full chat would be like.

Plus 33 hp bikes hold their money well, rather than 33hp restricted bigger bikes

I could understand it if your really really wanted a certain bike but the Bandit is nothing special
 
i started on a ninja 250 and now i currently have a gsxr 600 k7 restricted until march.
ninja 250 would be awesome to start on. very good fun to ride and learn new things on

Damn right you notice it :p I found the first few gears were barely restricted on a twin so it was still damn fast to 60 and up to 80 but then lost top end power which I guess it what they want to restrict so your not doing 130+ everywhere :D
 
Thanks everyone!

Yeah i heard they are quite underpowered, even with out a restriction. I also like the look of the ducati monster, but the sv650 looks decent too!

Haha yeah, well i dont plan on riding like a maniac any way, i just want a noticable difference from the 125!
 
The good thing about something like a 600 bandit is that whilst you are limited to 33bhp, at low engine speed the restriction is pretty insignificant so you still get the low-mid speed torque advantages of a larger engine. OTOH a smaller engine like a 250 Ninja won't be restricted at all, and you can have fun screaming the knackers of it, since that's the only way to get it moving at a reasonable speed :D
 
Gratz! :)

I started on a Honda CBF125 to get me through my tests. Currently on a restricted 2009 ER-6f, until November. It's got plenty of zip for getting around those pesky cages ;)

Haha, yeah i like the look of those er-6 but i think (n) at the end? Saw some at the test centre!
 
Congrats!!!. :D

I passed my test back in 1988 on a "D" registration Kawasaki KE100. Progressed from there to a Honda NS125F and then onto my first big bike which was a Kawasaki GPX600R.

Currently riding an Aprilia RSV Mille.

Have fun!!. :cool:
