Gav,get sum leathers first......a full set not just a jacket....

and actually learn to ride a bike what its designed for.....not just going in a quick line gav.....as you only ride at night with the other chav racers.....

accident waiting to happen....

tell me when your on the road....so i can lock my bike up and take the bus instead.

I recommend a Turbo Busa (restricted to 33BHP ofcourse) :)

A 600 probably wouldnt be very good restricted to 33BHP, We're talking about 5,000RPM's on usable power here...

jewell- i have leathers. so when you frist got on a bike you were god. bow to the god with all the riding skills of a pro.

DynaMight-I was toying with geting a 400cc but when you take the restricters out the bikes is hardly any different. but if i can affored it why not have a biger bike than a 400. at lest when i take the restricters out it would be a new bike again.

(i would take the restricters out after the two years is up ok!!)

Wouldn't recommend an R6. High rear, low front means it’s hard to learn how to corner. Plenty of power to flip you over the back.

I would say 400 sports. All the great attributes of a sports bike but with less power. Therefor safer and easier to go fast on in that respect. 60bhp should do you for a while anyway. Doubt you'll use 100bhp on the road all the time anyway. Don't even use 60 half of the time... :roll: . Fun to rag it anyway.

Don't know about the Triumph

Btw you will crash/drop the bike so best for it to be done on a cheaper bike.

Bandit, Sv650, Cb500, etc

Hornet. But if you want a first sports bike, 400s are the way to go.

hang on.......i didn't mention me being quick...im not......You have been riding 6 months in which you have crashed twice....
and every farking morning you fly past my house at 70mph....which is really clever with school kids walking to school.... :roll:
you even told me you try and go as quick as you can up my road...WHY?
and you also almost ran over my mate....hence he replied with throwing a bottle at your head :roll:

,theres a massive difference with a restricted 400 and a full power 400....the power under 9k rev is the same but after that is really starts to get going.

funny,aint seen you wear your full leathers once :roll:

so go get a 600 and i will bet money you will bin it.

gav the chav bikerboy :P
