Hello to you all!

I’m new here and wanted to make my presence known. My name is Jon and I live in Leybourne, Kent. I passed my Das back in 2006 and have been casually riding since then as I don’t know anyone with a bike. I currently have a GSXR 600 (hopefully the picture loaded below) and have also owned a TZR125 and a Bandit 6, the tzr was sprayed by my dad and me in our garden and came out quite well, when I brought the bike it was a wreck but a lot of effort was put into to get it looking like that. Anyway, here are some pics:

The TZR paint looks top, especially as its a home job.

Nice one.

Thanks for the replys The TZR was a good learning experience as the wiring and general condition of the bike was shocking. It was brought off of ebay and the bloke made out it was a good runner that only needed abit of working doing to it, anyway it took about 2 months to totally sort out but the paint job was about 3 weeks worth, anyone who has sprayed before will know taping up those lines is a tedious experience!

Alpine: The bandit was a great bike but i lost alot of money when i sold it, they just dont hold their money

Taking my a2 next month and I'm thinking of getting a bandit, just wondering what it rides like as I'm torn between that and a Honda hornet!

I havent ridden a hornet but ive heard good things about them. the bandit is a heavy bike but it felt good for it on bumpy roads and corners, it just kind of felt planted if you know what i mean, as a first big bike it was more than powerful enough for me and was very reliable.
