6 months down the line I'm still completely loving the bike Some scary moments, and some blind cagers, but still keeping it the rubber side down.

Had a little play in photoshop and with HDR and made this little thing:

Any more/new bikers amongst the SCN fellowship??

Got my test at the end of August. Doing a direct access for 5 days. Looking to get a Kwak er-6f or Suzuki gsx650f as starter bike. Any comments on these, have read up on them and still cant decide although 0% finance available on the kwak at the moment.

Looks WELL Sweet

Keep an eye out for my other half's Bike on gixer junkies - I think his user name is LITTLECHAT (or so he tells me ) (Luke) hes just purchased a 750 this year. Bought a double bubble screen and a Yoshi (?) exhaust for it?

Love going out on it - hate the palavar of getting all geared up when it's hot though!

Oh the Polo looks smart as well!

They are both really good starter bikes. Plenty of power but more forgiving then the ZXR or the GSXR. Also more upright position which is better for new riders as it gives you more control and stability over the bike at lower speeds and there isn't as much pressure on your wrists, which makes it ideal for slightly longer distances.

What I would say is to get your first bike second hand as you will only end up dropping it anyway and you'll be after a GSXR or ZXR eventually after a year or so, so in the interest of resale you'd just loose out lots of money if you were to get your fist bike new, keep it for a year and then try sell it. Awesome fun......if only petrol didn't cost £1.25 a liter I'd be on the bike constantly, but even so I must have done about 2000miles since the start of summer holidays.

Make sure you budget for some proper safety gear as well

Here is a more recent pic of mine

I have seen an 89 cbr 400 locally which tempted me for £1600. I have already bought my helmet a caberg trip with flip front as I wear glasses this was the only one I could get my glasses on with apart from a £400 shoei, and have some decent frank thomas leather gloves and boots.
Just deciding on whether to get leathers or textiles for waterproof and all year round riding.
