Reasonable enough choice, although it's lazy and lardy compared to the previous CBR600F.
If that's OK with you and it's primarily the looks you're after, then you could also consider the GSX650F, or an ER6F if you'd prefer a twin (I generally would).
For that matter, the GSX1250F isn't crazy either. Don't be put off by the engine size, it's a sports tourer, emphasis on the tourer, rather than a racer. In terms of bike for the money, it's hard to beat. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Words of advice for the Mod 2... I have done 5 (today alone! lol)
1. As someone said, remember your basic machine control, keep it smooth and controlled.
2. Pay attention to your surroundings - signs, speed limits, road markings (or lack of), traffic lights and other road users and their signals. React to them promptly and correctly. Unless you have a reason not to, get yourself moving where you can.
3. Observations - take them correctly and effectively and for yourself. If I have someone staging their observations - i.e, randomly throwing their head around for my benefit but not actually seeing anything, I will stop them where observations need to be good, then when they don't 'see' they fail. So, take your observations for yourself - if they are correct you don't need to over do them.
4. Speed limits - definitely not a target, but where you can get moving.. You don't need to be doing 30 in a 30, 40 in a 40 etc.. think of the limits as being followed by 'ish' 30 ish really is anything between 27 - 32, 40 ish anything between 37 - 42.. you get the idea. The last thing you want to happen is to miss a sign, marking or situation because you are obsessing over the speedo. If you think of your speed limits as 'ish' you will instinctively know when you are too slow or fast.
5. Gear.. we actually couldn't give a fuck what you are wearing. As long as it is sensible. Jeans are fine. Not my choice, but it's a free country. I am not the bike gear police.
6. Enjoy it - go out and ride for yourself, observe for yourself and don't over think it. It's not rocket science, and people will tell you - examiners don't like this, or don't your test at that time.. Every test report I leave the office with is a pass, all that goes on it is what the rider does. So, it's down to you dude, not me, whether you pass or fail.
7. As for stern words of wisdom.. rubbish, you pass your test with me I will shake your hand and welcome you to the club! (as most of my colleagues will) |
I have my mod 2 unrestricted test this week and will be taking these tips on board. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 6 years, 28 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
