there it is now

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

[Mitchell]

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]

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]

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

[craftycarper]

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 ?

[craftycarper]

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

[tif992ss]

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

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 , 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]

636 b1, best bike you could ever ride



built for the track tho.

[GRAHAM2000VTR]

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

[craftycarper]

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]

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]

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
