there it is now

Krys_23 22nd April 2008 22:59

How old are ye mate? Have you passed your test?

Mitchell 22nd April 2008 23:02

you'll be lucky to get something like that for under 2K unless high mileage.

for the price,I'd get a zx7r, alot of bike for the money. I'm getting one for a thrash about bike.


craftycarper 22nd April 2008 23:04

only 19 but fuck all that restrictor stuff coz i aint passed me proper test will come straight out. and dont want nothing much bigger than 600 as it is only first bike.

Found this £1800

Mitchell 22nd April 2008 23:05

its not gonna be much more than a 600. cheaper than some.

craftycarper 22nd April 2008 23:10

im surprised how cheap them zx's are myself now as my dad bought one of them brand new in 2001 but only had it a couple years. they still look a nice bike and sell quite cheap really

If your nineteen ,then I thought you can only take the restricted (33hp) test ?
Aid

craftycarper 22nd April 2008 23:17

yea can only do 33bhp test but take the restrictors out after depending on power output with restrictors

tif992ss 22nd April 2008 23:21

If its going to be your first bike , then something like a 600 Bandit or a Hornet ?

Oh dear...I hope with that attitude you don't become another statistic :ouch:

I past my test last October and bought an 03 GSX-R 600K2, yes its my 1st bike but i'm 34 and have been driving for 17years.

I've had fast cars for the last 12ish of those years and have been a truck driver for the last 5 years.

To say its made me more of a carefull driver/rider would be an understatement..there's so many fuckin idiots on todays roads that there's no room for inexperienced riders of fast bikes.

Hand on heart mine still scares the shit outta me :shocked:, but i'm learning it at my own pace.

Just think very carefully about hopping on a sports bike capable of 160mph+ before passing your test..coz its not always you thats the problem.

As for bikes, the ZX6 is a good all round bike, a couple of the lads I ride with have them, although i've had a go and I definately wouldn't swap my Gixxer for one!!

Good luck and take care....

dont mess about with that restricter stuff could go for and gsxr 6 or an earlier 750
zx6r's are good
prferre r6's myself
cbr are ok if it's an fs or rr model but would be hard to get insured on.

Mitchell 22nd April 2008 23:28

636 b1, best bike you could ever ride



built for the track tho.

GRAHAM2000VTR 22nd April 2008 23:30

cbr 600 are a nice ride and quick anoth for a first bike

craftycarper 22nd April 2008 23:30

oh would definately have wits about me like cars pulling out in front at junctions etc... just want something with poke so when there an empty road can wind it up a little and have some fun

d4r3n 22nd April 2008 23:34

prefer the new gsxr 750 love them bikes....

19 and your first bike you want a 600cc bike.......wouldnt it be better to just get a small bike i,e 250 get some road knowlege and then get a bigger bike, just my oppinion though,

dave1 22nd April 2008 23:39

have u found out how much the insurance will b coz im 21 and i got a quote the other day for a r6 and they want £1500
