Happy news

[Gilesie Boy]

Hi Guys,

This is my first post in the section but just wanted to tell everyone that I’ve just passed my bike test!!!!! I’m so over the moon only two minors but I’m happy with that. Now I’ve got the problem of trying to get the money together and decide on what bike to get.

Well done mate! Good eh? Any ideas of what you'll be after?

Cool, us noobs will be out numbering the oldies soon

You will need to find something that out handles and outruns the Lotus, probably something along the lines of a CG 125.

Congrats on growing a pair, and throwing away the stabilisers.

Only 2 minors is impressive- well done. Welcome to biking. Keep it rubber side down.

Thanks for the welcome as to what bike who knows, I love the MV and the Millie but the ins is over 1200 and it's just too much to pay when I’ve got two cars to ins as well. Think I’m leaning towards Triumph's they seem allot cheaper to ins than other bike (two year old gsx 600 was £900) looking at 955I etc and speed tripple, what do people think about these? budget is around 2k there is room there but it hard to justify more on my first bike so any recommendation are welcome. Just one thing I'm 6 foot 5 and around 16st.

Regards

Giles

There's qa good article in the current TWO about big bikes that are silly cheap to insure for some reason. ZX-12 anyone?

Well done on the pass. Have fun choosing your new bike. The best thing to do is to make a list of even slightly possibles then go and test ride them all.
