Passed my DAS, yay \o/

[Scorpio8719]

Finally passed my das the hard part is done so now the fun begins! . sooooo happy i got it out the way and done and dusted

Going to spend a max 2k on a bike so have lots to pick from i likey the zx6r, sv650, firestorm, vfr lots and lots really. They all cost roughly about the same insurance wise except the sv650 which is ALOT cheaper however while i can afford the extra monies for the insurance I am trying to justify the extra, are the other 3 twice as good as the sv650 i wonder.

anyways i passed yay

Congratulations on your pass! It'll be the "style" of the bike that makes or breaks the insurance I found. Bandits were cheap options (insurance wise) ZX-Rs were more expensive (super sports) but then I found ZZ-Rs are sports tourers so slightly more than the bandit but a lot less than the ZX-R etc

would you say the zzr would be better (more fun ect) than the sv650? i quite like the pointy one. For some reason the bandit and hornet is nearly as much to insure as the zx6r. and for some reason a R6 is 1800 a year....third party

Grats on passing!

Just remember to keep a level head! It's very exciting when you have the prospect of a new bike in front of you! But just because you can LEGALLY ride anything you want, doesn't necessary mean you HAVE to jump on the biggest, most powerful bike you can find

Don't plunge headlong onto the first bike that catches you eye, take your time and sit on everything you can find until you find that one that really works for you!

Grats again! You've got a lot of fun ahead of you!

Well done. Now comes the really fun part of finding your bike and starting to really learn. Stay calm, don't rush things and give yourself a chance to enjoy the hell out of whatever you get. I'll chuck my two-pence worth in for a 650 Versys. I love mine to bits and want to see lots more of them on the road!
Congrats again!

I haven't looked at those I shall have a gander on eBay. Where is the best place for advanced training? There's loads to choose from, bike safe ect or maybe it's worth booking a track school or what ever there called? Choices choices

What sort of bike do you want? I settled on my Hornet after trying and/or sitting on about 20 bikes, from 400 sports bikes to 500 commuters and 600 nakeds - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for quite a number of reasons.

Well I like all sorts really my mates are going ahhhh get a sports bike it only goes as fast as u want but thinking bit more along the lines of a vfr 800 or firestorm or thunder ace. Maybe I'm thinking to big.

If I was going to get a sport bike I'd get something like a thundercat cos the cheap and won't hurt to much if I drop it not that I intend to for some reason a bandit or Hornet is 200 quid less to insure than a zx6r. Now I'm thinking ah sod it il pay the extra for the sporty sexy one but I'm in no rush to get a bike. I have a hairdryer of a car(1.2 corsa hehe)

Look at an old Fazer.Fair enough i'm maybe a little older than you.
But I passed my test in March,so got an old xj600(I hated it)but all I had to pay was an admin charge to change from my old CG125.Within 3 weeks I changed it to a 1998 Fazer,and again just had an admin fee to pay.
Lovely bike the Fazer.Looks a biggish bike until you sit on it and then for some reason you just mould into it,and it feels like it's half the size.

A Fazer fugly?
I suppose it's horses for courses,the main thing that made me want to test ride my Fazer was it's looks.
