Incentive bike

[Whitey]

Right guys and gals

I'm on my way to sorting out my brand new theory + hazard perception test and full bike test

I had the idea of buying an incentive bike, that is, a bike to sit and stare at me every time I go in the garage and tell me to 'pass your test you pissbadger!'

I've found a tidy 99 GSXR 600 SRAD for sale for a negotiable price of £1300..... is it worth the potential heartache of having to try again, to snap this little beastie up?

Its sods Law.
You buy it as an inscentive, and becouse its a good buy...
You will fail your tests on the most stupid little things, and Murphey will be sat the bike taunting you every time you look at it.
DONT buy it..... and yyou'll sail through your tests.... but then you'll go to get it, & it'll have been sold, and you'll not be able to find ANYTHING like for what dosh you got....
Personally I say the licence is more valuable than ANY bike.....
And a 600 'sports' is not a great thing to step straight onto post test anyway. bigger softer or smaller and softer, Any way you want it, but 600 sports are not the best for a big-bike newbie.
so I'd say, let it pass, get your test, and tell Murphey you DGAS anyway!

Trouble is, If it's a really good buy your going to regret not getting it. Also, you aren't every going to lose on that sort of money, you can always sell it on for the same sort of cash if you need to.

Id buy it

i've got a yamaha fazer waiting for me,probs for the last month now

you can have all the motivation you want to pass,but if you don't have the skills you never will

i would have done my test without buying the bike first if i could,but other things leading to needing the bike straight after i pass mod 2,hopefully this wed

I have a TT600 waiting in the garage for me!

As Polarbear said, you can always sell it on if you dont pass. I would go for it if you can afford the bike and cash for your licence.
