Well, i passed my DAS to day with 2 minors so I'm chuffed. Just need to wait for the rain to stop so i can get a (tentative) spin on my 600 Bandit and see how it compares to the ER5.
Rekon I'll give it a few hundred miles to get used to it and then get some advanced driving tuition; bring on the sun!

Cheers
Ben

Good work! As others have said I bet you're over the moon. biggrin

I've got mine on Monday morning - can't wait! I'm just itching to get out on my SV650 so that I can start learning properly!

Nice one Ben!! beer

Like you, my learning/test bike was a schools ER-5, and my first bike a Bandit 600, and the difference was huge!! So much smoother, much more power and acceleration, and it felt like a proper big bike, with much more presence on the road..

Enjoy it and have fun!!! thumbup
