I'm confused. Don't you already have a Bandit or is the workshop thread a lie?

How good are you with spanners. I'm selling my ZX6r Laughing you won't want it.

But yeah, I'd recommend something like a Hornet.

Fair, was just confused Thumbs Up

Well the Hornet that Paddy says about is a good one. Has a lot of power but not stupid amounts. Would be a decent idea to get comfortable on a bike like that and then think about something faster afterwards.

The answers you get are only going to be as good as the information that you provide.

If its going to be restricted, get a bandit. Will be cheaper in every way.
