It'll be fast enough, mate! What have you got now? 125? Just remember a big bike will get you in to trouble a lot faster than a small bike (their less forgiving), it'll be fun OK, don't worry about that.

Good luck with your test, dude. Thumbs Up Karma

cheers mate Very Happy
i had a 125 but sold it,was a bit power lacking for a big lad like myself,ive had fast cars before but got tired of them,i just cant imagine how quick it will be but ill treat the power with respect,im nearing 30 now so ive calmed down a bit Cool

This may be a silly question Marc but are you from Yorkshire ( Wink ) and if so where are you doing the intensive course. I'm in Bradford and looking to do something similar in a few weeks.

Nice bike by the way, best of luck in your quest for that elusive bit f paper!

Well I'n nearly 30 (well 29 in a couple of months) and the temptation of my 750 still gets the better of me from time to time. Twisted Evil

hi matt,yes im over in skipton mate,did my cbt with xs in bradford but have booked the 3 day intensive over in blackburn-west pennine training i think.
it worked out about 90 quid cheaper doing it in lancashire!
blackburns only 20 minutes from me anyway and they are supposed to be a top training school.

obviously if your in bradford itll work out better staying there with xs,i think they charge 375 for a 3 day,not sure though. Smile

Nice choice of bike; Ok i am a bit biased.

There is one thing for sure though they get heads turning because there are so few of them about; I've only seen an RF900 at Sherburn.

Have fun Smile I know I am on mine.

Where did you get it from?
