For a beginner you have good body position and look pretty relaxed. Keep that up, keep it smooth and you'll do well... just make sure you cover the rear brake at all times, and just start clutching it a bit higher.. you'll get there Thumbs Up lookin cool Cool

Cheers Thumbs Up Yeah i need to do them higher but i'm just learning how to knock it through the gears atm, i'll probably get it higher once i've got more confident.

Jamie, yeh its just the local quiet dead end road, every town has one, sometimes we go down to a road in north wales (dont have a clue what its called) where the good lads go and do proper wheelies (kneeling on the seat at 120 etc)

Thats the one, shotton!

Yeah sorry i missed it Mr. Green They're pretty easy to get up, it'll power up in first, and you can clutch it in 2nd from 40/50mph. Then its just a matter of keeping it up Wink

Luxy, yeah 'tis standard, not even got a noisy can on it, can't afford it because of the amount of money i'm spending on fuel! Mr. Green

Id imagine the speed difference from your Bandit 400 to be pretty big, i rode a bandit 600 last night and that felt pretty slow compared to the Hornet.

Yer, I'm well looking forward to it! My bandit's restricted and i'm planning on doing my accelerated access before I get the hornet so even better!

My mate's got a bandit 650s and I've told him to be prepared for being left in the dust... he doesn't believe me, but we'll see Cool

Nice.

How long have you had the Hornet? I seem to remember reading your 'new bike' thread not long ago so you've done well to get that good in such a short time..
