[Gazdaman]

Pics don't work for me, the one in your avatar looks sweet though.

P.S where the hell does a 16 year old get 3 grand?

The very best of luck to you, you make me so jealous I am going the NSR 125 then test route, but I wish I could afford such a nice bike.

One thing though if you drop it I am sure most of the forum will come round and slap you. YOU HAVE BEING WARNED

[Phil.]

It looks great SS!

Not sure about this hornet bashing, but i will over look it just this once

These will be the longest 90 days of your life! Just don't wear the seat out going in the garage evey day sitting on it!

[JonB]

Not really bashing the Hornet as it is a very nice bike and appears to be a bit more fiesty than the Bandit, I just found the clutch to be lighter on the bandit and much easier to handle, kept stalling me dad's Hornet you see.

The Sun was shining today so me and my Dad got our bikes out and took photos of them. I also got my nice new leather jacket yesterday so thought I would show it off.

Boy are you going to be having fun trying to keep those downpipes clean and shiny... Looks nice, even if it doesn't really look much like a Bandit.

OK OK.

I am fortunate enough to have wonderful parents who put pack money away ever since I was a little baby. I didn't even know about this til 6 months ago. It is accesible to me in May, but my parents are bailing me out til then. The insurance and all other oddities are coming from me own sweat and tears. I have been saving up money in my own account since the age of 7. I used my brain when coming to choosing a 50cc, I didn;t go stupid and spend silly amounts on a bike I was going to ride for one year. So I still had loads of money back from then.

My parents wanted me to spend my inheritance on University but it is looking unlikely that I will go now, so yeah, though I would treat myself.

I don't really like talking about my money situation with mates and people because instantly I am known as a 'rent boy and very spoilt. But whereas you get 17 year olds buying RS125's for nearly 3 Grand why can't I get myself a bigger bike for the same money?

Oh and I am paying for the test myself as well. I have been trying to get every shift available at work in order to keep this running so I am not living the life of luxury OK. I don't wanna be treated any different to anybody else just cause I have a "posh" bike at 16/17. I spend loads on bikes but next to nothing on clothes, computers and gadgetery just because I love bikes with a passion. OK?

pics dont work for me...

Ah SS, don't let people give you a hard time because you have money (seems like you still work more than your share though ) but yeah, I almost relish the way people look at me when I tell them how I managed to afford my bike, their "trust fund, silver spoon baby" look says it all, but I don't care, if my family have earned enough in the past to keep future generations looked after it's not my fault, and like you I still work to pay the bills and for my own luxuries, just the bikes come from the magic money books, besides, my bike was a practical and sensible choice.

Cheers for moral support Josh!

I dunno if it is a Suzuki or Honda thing but the clutch and throttle control is so much smoother on this bike than it is on my Dad's Hornet, which is a bit jerky. Not that I have rode it officer.

Know how you are feeling mate. Back in the 70`s I was riding a honda 250 dream. that was the limit then, and I had a z650 waiting in the wings for when I passed my test. (Good job I passed 1st time, mind you you would have to be pretty bad to fail back then)!!!

Best advice I can give you is go to sleep for 3 months coz nothing else will make the time pass quick enough.

And before I get slated about being rich, both bikes were "2nd hand"
