Thanks for the advice guys - I passed my das course. Now which bike to get?
|
Thanks for the advice from a few days ago.
So now I have had some time on the CBR or whatever it was (a Honda 500 with
ABS anyway), my little Cub 90 feels like a piece of plastic and I am
thinking about what to buy.
My thoughts:
1. I go 20 mins twice a day to the tube station.
2. The stability and grip of the big bike I used was nice and I like that
bit. Much better than the CG125 I used on the first three days of the
course.
3. Cub 90 gets blown about in the wind and has little power to keep out of
the way of the nut job drivers round here (SE London, the home of the
uninsured).
4. ABS sounds good should I ever need it.
5. Although I did a geared test, I like automatics.
6. I am a Yorkshireman and consequently don't like spending money - the Cub
uses £2 of petrol a week.
So, can anyone recommend some bikes that may suit me?

Suzuki's GSXR1000 K6 ticks all the boxes.
|
I've looked it up, and the only thing I can see that concerns me is the way
it appears to be an _extremely_ fast bike. I know it depends on how much gas
|
You didn't notice that it didn't meet several of you other criteria then?
|
you give it, but is such a fast bike sensible after passing the test? My
|
Gas? All my bikes run on petrol.
|
mind is comparing it to passing the driving test and getting a Maserati.
|
and just hat is wrong with this? Other than a maserati is dog slow
compared to a number of very ordinary (by today's standards) bikes.

Is the ABS kept under the seat, or is it what the fairing is made of?
