I've fancied a bike since i was 17 and at the grand age of 30 i decided to learn and passed my test last week.

So here are my new wheels...a Z650

Ive only had it a day and had a 50 mile blast. Really nice and fun to ride, handles much nicer than the ER-6n i learned on. Its physically smaller but not overly so, im 5'10 and i dont feel cramped but i wouldn't want to be much bigger.

I don't know if ill bother with any aesthetic mods because I reckon its likely i might want to get something bigger in a year or so. I toyed with a Z900 but kept with a bit of caution and went for the 650 until i get more mileage under my belt.

Now if this rain would just sod off i can go enjoy it even more!

Cool machine and welcome to the BCF. Also, it's never too late to start riding motorcycles. My neighbor started when he was 67, and several years later he put a turbo on his 250 Ninja, now making 60Hp and riding it like a teenager, dragging his knees in every corner, blipping the throttle and all that.

In my first year of riding, I would go out in any weather. I rode that GPz 550 even in winter, before the snow came that year. Freezing my arse off, yet giggling like a lunatic with every twist of the throttle. Razz
