I don't do things by halves
Discussion
Errr, I have a confession to make my fellow Biker Banter friends 
As you know, I passed my test yesterday - and I've now put a deposit down on a bike
I've bought a Honda CB600F Hornet with 6,700 miles in metallic blue, from a main dealer. Got a hundred pounds knocked off the price and sealed the deal at £3,000.
The dealership will be having it delivered (it's currently at a different dealer in their group) before next weekend. I'll be going there next weekend to test ride it, then pay the balance if I want to go ahead. I'll probably have it delivered the week after that as I won't be able to get a lift to the dealer to pick it up.

Should've got a Z750, the're faster!
To depreciate! No seriously though with 150cc extra you'd expect the Z750 to be faster than a 600cc Hornet or is it just me?
Can't argue, the hornet is a sensible 1st bike though.
Great, great bike, just like mine, almost. Get yourself a wee fly screen if you're doing any big miles, it helps out a lot.

To be honest, the route to the dealer means that I really have to take the motorway and I don't fancy that just yet - I want to get used to bike on roads I know and take some extra lessons for things like filtering and the motorway.
It's going to be bloomin' difficult waiting though!

Just take her for a spin round near the dealers for a bit untll your familiar. Then sit on the motorway in the inside lane and get tuckd in behind the first 65mph lorry or whatever. Just take it really steady.
Personaly, I couldn't physically do what you are proposing.
Plus, you've got to get it back home somehow so it might as well be then, or is the dealer willig to deliver to your house?

Nice first bike mate!
Mine was an Yam 50cc FS1E after passing my test. Oh how times have changed. Credit crunch my arse!
Thanks bud. After selling my Lotus I had the funds set aside for the bike. I've also got the funds set aside for the bike that I change to in a year or so's time, unless my wife decides in the meantime that she needs a new kitchen Mine was an Yam 50cc FS1E after passing my test.
