And i bet you rode a lot better afterwards once you thought you;d failed. I almost turned into a farm (he said take the next right) and the next turning looked like a genuine road but aparently they always say it early to see if you attempt to go down it or not.

I thought i had failed, did my mirror checks, cancelled the signal and did my lifesavers and carried on to the next 'proper' turning.

Rode much better after that, fortunatley my e-stop and u-turn was after that so i was really relaxed.

Anyhow, doesn't matter how many minors you got, the fact is the examiner thinks you are competent enough to ride on the road with poweh at your fingretips....so congrats and get big bike hunting Razz

couldnt agree more the same thing happened on my first test when i went straight ahead on a left turn only Embarassed had a perfect ride for the rest the test. i didnt even get one minor and even the examiner said i would of passed if i was paying a bit more attention to the road ahead.

wow exactly the 3 i was looking at y day.

sv650 can be about 2000 to 2500 according to the sales bloke for my das company (for a 3 or 4 year old one) the faired ones appeal to me. not bad price either.

the cbr 600 f i would say can be pricier but i was looking at them. the cbr 600 rr 2004 i think is just abit more expensive but worth a look.

the cbf600 was what my instructor said was a good first bike. decent power and should learn a lot on it.

I had a nightmare test (forgot photocard and was minutes late after racing home to get it, then bike wouldn't start Rolling Eyes ) and I missed the 'next right' as there was a stationary bus in traffic in front of it and I saw the next turn and thought that was the one - I was pretty much in despair at that point and just went through the motions - I passed and am now the very proud owner of my lovely SV650S!

Congratulations Thumbs Up

what did you guys/gals prefer the examiner to be following you in because on my first test he was on a bike and when doing my obvs he was up my arse all the time.

on my second test i had a different examiner in a car and i felt much more calmer because i didnt really pay much attention to what car he was in, so it just felt i had someone telling me where to go.
