Right now that is out the way on to the next test, just need to decide on how to approach it, try them one by one on the 125 or get on the 3/4 day direct route with a 500?

If finances permit and you're pretty sure you are capable go the DAS route.
It's no big deal for me to be restricted (which is why I'm doing A2 on my own bike) but it may be for you.

Good luck with it mate. Thumbs Up

It entirely depends on whether you personally can live with 33bhp for 2 years. It's a fair jump up from a 125, but you'll likely still want more fairly soon.

Myself, I have absolutely no need for anything bigger than my GPz 305 and I should ride it into the ground then look for something similar. But I'm damn sure that I'll crack and get a proper Big Boy Bike the moment my restriction is up.

Be advised that if you ride a full beans 500+ bike even once, then you may have a hard time going back to anything weedier.

I've had 4 lessons (16hrs) on a 600 and it is tough getting back on my 125...70bhp puts a bigger smile on my face than 15 Mr. Green

Thanks for the advice, full beans, that's some food for thought (could not resist) going to have a long hard think, no need to rush this one.
