turning 17, getting 33bhp licence

[snuff2005]

hi there im 17 in december which will allow me to ride a 33bhp bike once ive passed my test, all i need is some advise as no one in my family has been a biker apart from me.

ive been looking at the vfr/rvf 400's as i can aford the bike and the insurance and know a garage that will restric the bike to 33bhp for me, so realy im just looking for some more options which are either 33bhp bikes or larger bikes that can be restricted, i have no real worries about riding bigger bikes as ive been riding off road on 125's 250's and even a few 600's

im selling my rs if your interested? it makes 28hp i think but it will still do about the same (give or take 20mph top end power) https://www.bikechatforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=65372

[Nb]

These bikes i believe are all 33bhp or less or can be restricted.

Perhaps look at passing your test more than fantasising about which bike to get? Obviously work it into the equation, but there's no point in deciding what you're going for if you're not even qualified to ride it yet.

I'm not yet either. I want a ZX6R.

[-Savage-]

yes i agree with rookie_biker, worrie about your test, and then you can actually testride bikes to see what is best for you,





erm yea ignore the fact i have no test, and a cbr600fGod what are we all like
