You know I haven't really thought about it much, i've looked at a few places locally and seen a few older bikes. I'm thinking something cheap so it dont matter if I have to bin it as i'll be riding all through winter.

Bike Bits They've a few here can anyone pick out the better bikes out of the oldies.

I quite like the suzuki bandits though, from what i've heard the 600 isnt stupidly fast yet it looks the sex.

I would go for one of those if I can sell the RS and get some of the money back for it.[/url]

Yer I love my bandit, engine is hard to kill (I haven't been very friendly to it in the past...) And they have plenty of power to kill you/take your license away but it is also very controllable. An easy ride.
Very revvy engine though ^^

Hmmm been looking at insurance quotes and it seems the CBR 600 is exceptionally cheap for me to insure at only £400 TPFT... looked at quotes for some stupid bikes £1100 for an R1 or a Hayabusa lol.

Thinking a cbr mite be the way forward...

Sorry for being a post whore lately but just to bump and say that I passed my Mod 2 today with 2 minors (doing slightly more than 30 in a 30) and a stopping fault (apparently I stopped directly opposite a car park entrance which I completely missed)...

So happy right now Smile Smile Smile Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Well done mate ... Thumbs Up You said earlier that £400 quid was exceptionally cheap insurance... mines only 80 quid a year, benefits of being an old git Laughing

I got a quote on a GS 500 for £90 thinking it might be worth going down that road... Although I would love a 600cc.
