Which bike should i get???

[MrLarner]

Hiya everyone, I'm new to this forum and just had a few questions...
i recently passed my cbt and im looking at buying a bike.
I dont like geared bikes, just the rev and go does me fine. i'm 29 years old, 12 and half stone and im 6ft.
just wondered what options i got???
so far i can only think of a 125 DNA.
i like the look of the super bikes but i cant deal with gears, so what other options do i have except a DNA?

If you dont do gears then you are limited to a scooter looking thing or, as you mentioned, the DNA bike looking things.

What is it with gears you dont like? Because sadly, if you want anything with a decent bit of go, then you will want a geared bike.

There's always one of these if you somehow manage to get a test done

Gears are easy to learn though.
Before I did my CBT I was a bit apprehensive that I wouldn't 'get' gears. I'd had a go on a bike @15 and the concept of gears didn't sink in and I just ragged the poor thing across a field in first.
But actually learning on a geared bike was a piece of piss for me

Whats not to get?

Squeeze left hand, press left foot down and release. Twist throttle, release left hand slowly.

You're now rolling around happily in first. Great, so to go faster?

Release throttle, squeeze left hand, place foot under pedal and lift the pedal up. Foot away from pedal, release left hand, twist throttle again.

Repeat above, to go up a gear. However should we want to go down a gear we press the pedal down instead of lifting it up. Should at any point something go tits up squeeze left hand - no power gets to the rear wheel nomatter what the engines doing!

Sit there on the sofa doing it with an imaginary bike & i'm sure it'll come to you quick enough & open up a whole world of possibilities! Ask your local instructor how much they charge for a lesson on a geared bike & see where that gets you.

You have so got to learn how to use gears! If you don't learn how to ride a motorcycle you'll only be able to ride scooters. The Yamaha Aerox is nice though.
