Hello From a Newbie

[Tracer1234]

Hi All, just wanted to introduce myself before jumping right in.

I am very much a noob at the moment but am hugely enjoying riding.

Both my Father and Brother ride so it was only a matter of time before I did.

I currently have a Yamaha YBR 125 and plan to have it for a year or so before doing my full bike test.

So yeah, hello and look forward to getting involved.

Welcome to the forum. With regards to your full bike test, how old are you?

[Rogerborg]

Good choice, but to anticipate your answer: why wait? The tests aren't particularly hard, people pass them with hours of practice.

Im 26, Thought it may be an idea to get a few miles under my belt to see how I like it and experience.

However, it seems for every mile, the worse the itch gets to jump right in.

So yeah I am very tempted.

Howdy! Yeah, you won't last a year on a 125 . After 3 months you start getting the itch, 6 months the shakes, 9 months you find yourself dry humping random sports bikes in car parks...

I managed 8 months on a 125 after actually passing my test.I did a lot of motorway riding too
The L's were off and that was enough for a while but the draw of a bigger bike became too strong once the summer came.
It wont hurt to ride the 125 though winter.Once march comes then maybe thing about taking your test imo.
You'll have had plenty of experience by then
