Mod 2 passed! I'm now a motorcyclist :3

[Seigi]

So I've just passed my mod 2 on my first try with only 1 minor (It could've been a clean sheet, the minor was not indicting left on a spiral roundabout when taking first exit). But yeah, that's it for 2 years now (on 35kw restriction), well chuffed as there was so many times during the test I thought I'd failed, and when she said "You've passed" I was like "What? Are you sure? I was certain I'd failed" and she said "No, that was a really nice ride".

Now to start shopping for a big bike, I'm thinking of getting an SV650S and restricting it, the restrictor might accidentally fall out after a couple of months, these things happen you know, they just rattle out.

Just as a point - your 35kw restriction is forever not just for two years. The two year thing is how long you now have to wait until you can take your unrestricted test.

Anyway - Congratulations on the pass!

It is an SV, it will rattle to bits.

But well done Get passing your full unrestricted licence soon yeah?

[Seigi]

What would you recommend otherwise? I was torn between the SV650S and the ER-6F, there's not a whole lot in the A2 that are anywhere near decent =/

There are plenty.

DRZ400, KTM690 (or 390 to be on limit), ER6, Bandit.

It is a shit law, it cuts off the mid level 600 sports... but still, either of the above will be fine, especially if the restrictor falls out.

[GeorgeB.]

i'm gonna look at getting a gsx650f once I pass my test (can take it at the end of the month) - definitely a bike to consider

Well done btw

Pretty much any supermoto would be a lot of fun. I'm counting the days till I can buy a KTM 690 SM

Congrats.

+1 for DRZ or supermoto style bike.

Will be on 1 wheel in no time

[P.addy]

You have a GSXR600, should be on 1 wheel by now!

[27cows]

Congrats.

Don't understand all this Mod 2, restricted this and that shite. When I were a lad, if you could ride a bike round the block without falling off or killing a pedestrian, that was it. Full license and off you get on your Laverda Jota, assuming you were one of the 7 people in the country who could afford one in 1986

Not sure there's any point in all this ridiculous multiple tests carry on, except making those parasites in govt. a bit more money they can then squander giving tax cuts to the wealthy.

Not indicating at a roundabout's only a minor? I was told that's a major when learning to drive

[Seigi]

[MC]

Congrats! SV650S looks good, sounds good, nice. They are quite low though I think.
