So after passing my test recently, today I rode my YBR125 30 miles up the dual carriage way and traded it in for this.

Then somehow rode that 95 miles home Thumbs Up

I'm expecting a bit of a hard time for my choice of bike, and for buying new, but obviously a nice step up from the 125 and I'm loving the bike so wanted to share.

So far the only problem looks like being that I'll be raiding the wallet again very quickly for the first service if this nice weather stays with us.

I quite like the look and it can only be a good thing that people are buying new machines.

I like it when people buy new, as someone's got to do it (to keep the bike market alive) and I don't want to Very Happy

Agreed but by the standards set by a lot of new bike designers lately it's actually a quite nice looking standard pipe.
