What car or motorbike

Thanks all.

I passed my driving test in Sept 06, so have been driving for a while. I've also been cycling on and off for years, so have learned a bit of two-wheeled road craft that way.

I guess for me the 125 route may be a better start. I don't have the greatest confidence so a bit of familiarisation on a smaller bike would be useful. I live in rural Lincolnshire and don't have much access to dual carriageways. I have back roads and things that I could ride down and practice on.

There could be an issue with pottering at 50 mph. However, I think I need to see how it goes.

My other route to work (apart from the A17) is villages and twisty roads. Could be good fun on a bike and if I could make progress in places, could possibly work out quicker.

Finally, I have a single garage at my house that has a lot of bicycle stuff in. The motorbike and relevant stuff could go in there too.

Anyway, I'll have a good think based on what has been said in this thread. Thanks all.

Get the bike you'll never look back, at 6'4 I'd go for a ZX9R they're great for commuting reasonable money & a good ride. I had a ZX9R E1 that I done 72K on
