Goose's are great bikes, 350cc single 33hp. A good friend of mine had one for a few years, and he is 6ft 2 or so. In his own words..

"Stupid bike to buy, went with my heart, uncomfortable to the extreme, but worth every minute of it"

Think it says it all.

I prefer the Goose to the Bros, Goose will be a bit harder for parts, but batmotorcycles should be able to get you most things.

Nope, IMO the Goose outdoes the bandit in everyway apart from power.


The Bros is a v-twin 400cc honda, earliest ones you can pick up are around 89-90'. Bat Motorcycles has a 2001 Goose in at the mo, looks gorgeous.

I'd go for the goose for fun and the BROS for distance.

From what I remember the BROS felt a little bit faster/smoother than the goose.

However they are a bit more 'sporty' in position and handing.


I'm sure you can have fun on either however Smile.

Goose handles fantastically, smoothest gearbox ever, good engine, very very light, and got alot of pose value to it (no one knows what it is).

Obviously i prefer the cbr to it, but at the time i loved the goose. Still sitting in my garage infact.

As for parts, ebay is your friend.

Infact thinking of which, must list that cdi i have for it.

I always loved the goose 350... looks awesome, I would of bought one at 17 if I could of found one in my price range Smile

but.... I would have to say the bros will probably be a more sensible choice. But I'd get the goose Thumbs Up
