Getting my first bike.

So i passed my test yesterday and im restricted to 33bhp.

But i have no bike atm, and i really have no idea what sort of bike to get, can someone point me in the right direction please?

Should i get a bike that is already 33bhp or below OR get a slightly higher CC bike (500/600 maybe?) and get it restricted?

I was told by one of the instructors i had that a bandit 600 would be a nice bike to have and get restricted, and then the guy that took me for my test said that the bike depended too much on high revs to pull off or that its revs are too high for a starter bike or something, not too sure, but whatever he said its sort of made me more confused on what to get .

Thanks

I suppose i like the look of the sporty sort of bikes, but i saw some today and they look hard to ride, but suppose you get used to it, and ive only been on one bike

Hmm about 5,9/10 maybe as a guess.

And about no more than £1500 most likely, though i think id rather spend less.

ive not looked at many bikes at all really, and dont think ive looked at one 400cc yet.

are 400cc smaller in size or something?

What sort of CC bandit would be good?

excuse me if its obvious, but i have no idea on bikes really lol

Just looked at a few of the 400 ones you noted on autotrader, and most of them if not all were above £1600 most been about £2000 Sad
