Supporters M_P Posted April 5, 2013 Supporters Share Posted April 5, 2013 depends on what licence he holds, and his age to some degree. if he has a A2 licence (restricted) he can ride any bike as long as it produces no more then 33horse power. after having a A2 licence for 2 years you are considered experienced, and it then gets auto up graded to an A1 licence (full power any bike etc) Ah cheers, I'm a car guy so wouldnt know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam bussey Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 I don't really know enough about them to pick styles, I'll just look for something I like the look of. I've been through all this about 800 times and have yet to realistically consider buying one, or taking my CBT, there's also factoring my mum into it, because she'll probably just shoot me in the head if I buy a motorbike. But frankly, cars can suck a dick. I'm not paying thousands of pounds for a piece of shit box and then paying double that again, to be allowed to legally drive it. It'd be cheaper to buy one from some shady guy in an alley, drive with no license and no insurance and then just pay the fines if and when I get caught out. It's a bloody con, literally. i will be selling my 2001 DR125 shortly if your interested for about £1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naf456 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I drive a chinese Honda CM custom clone. It's a nice bike - the engine is practically bullet proof. When I'm 19 this October I want to take my A2 and get my dream bike - a Triumph Bonneville T100. They look sound and ride absolutely badass. Here's my Hunny for the time being : She's a 2010 - pretty nice ride on her £699 brand new, but I got her off my uncle for £300 thinking about riding makes me want to ride. And when I am, I never want to stop - my wallet says otherwise.... ERRR need to get a job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akey Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yam Super Tenere Yes I have ridden it off road, as well as a hire one from Yamaha. Yes I do take it for long trips when the wife allows lol Gravel fire roads in wales, traction control set to allow some wheel spin = big grins all round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigshep Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Naff, if you get the bonnie t100 then get the arrow "performance" exhaust with it. The baffles are very easy to get out, not that I have done that with my Thruxton in any way whatsoever, or that it mentions they are easy to remove in the handbook either. If they do happen to fall out then the bike sounds like a bloody spitfire, it just roars I have as much fun pottling around on this at 60mph as I did on my GPZ1100 at speeds a tad higher than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpia4 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 My babies... Such a comfortable ride. The pink one is shaft driven like a bmw and the pink one is chain drive. They're both 0cc and 2 stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Lozart Posted August 1, 2013 Supporters Share Posted August 1, 2013 I used to have a Limited Edition GSXR750H just like this one: only less new and shiny. Loved it. Crashed into a pedestrian (not my fault - small girl ran out in front of me) and that kind of put me off. Plus I have no garage where I live now so I had to sell it. Gutted, still miss riding now. adam bussey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PT247 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Can't post pics at the mo coz on works puter and it won't let me access my photobucket.Current bikes: 2013 Kawasaki ZX636R ABS 2012 Moto Guzzi V7 Stone 1981 Yamaha XS400 converted to street/flat tracker 1990 (iirc) Yamaha RXS100 hevily modified and tuned with ported YZ head/barrel, RD350 custom exhaust, RD125 carb/conrod. Am gonna be selling the Kawasaki soon as just not riding it enough to having it sit around, fantastic bike tho and is the best sportsbike I have ever owned. Selling the XS400 too as again it just doesn't get used enough. The Guzzi (Lord Vader) is a keeper, such a fun bike to ride. Took it round Europe; France/Switzerland/Italy/Spain in May, awesome trip. The RXS is a silly little toy, myself and a bunch of mates came up with a "race" series called The 125hundreds, which is on facebook. £500 budget, 125cc max and must be fully road legal with MoT and tax all within budget. We have gone green laning, taken part in Motogymkhana and runs to the BSB on them. We really want to find a locked field we can get permission to use to run a few more events including night enduro and offroad motogymkhana, but the main event we want to try is called Shot-Glass Speedway; drink a shot, out lap, fast lap, in lap, drink a shot and repeat until only one bike/rider is still going round! I'll post some pics and vids up if folk are interested? :-) Previous bikes I've owned: Ducati 1098 Streetfighter S (lovely to look at and bonkers engine but god awful to actually ride)Husqvarna SM510R supermoto (bloody amazing bike, a true allmost allrounder with compromises: could green lane it one day, road ride the next and do a trackday the next without any changes except to tyre pressures.... touring was harder as it only had a 8l tank and a brick for a seat but didn't stop me I just strapped a 5l jerry can to the back!) KTM200 EXC (best bike I have ever owned, was robbed from me with just 10hrs on the engine. So much fun off road)KTM250F EXC (didn't get on with it)KTM 300 EXC 2 stroke converted to supermoto (silly silly silly) KTM SM640 supermoto (heavy and slow)Suzuki GSXR 750 (lovely bike but the 636 is far better)Triumph 1050 Speedtriple (was the best road bike I've ridden)Honda CBR 600Ducati 750 Monster Honda VFR400 NC24 Kawasaki KMX200 Yamaha RD125LC Kawasaki AR125 Honda CB100N Honda MT5 poss had a few others too. Been riding since I was 16, am 38 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PT247 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 the new can looks loads better than the standard one mate :-) Am cutting down my fleet of bikes, Sold the XS400 a couple of weeks back, the 636 will be up for sale soon once I have given it a valet. Have booked a test ride on the new KTM 390 Duke for tomoz, looking forward to seeing how it rides, would make an ace Motogymkhana bike hopefully! :-) Was looking at the new Moto Guzzi colour schemes while at work last night, the silver version of my V7 looks awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam bussey Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 just last week I went to cornwall on my DR from peterborough 350 miles there and the same back with no problems apart from dropping it in milton keynes and the speedo doing a windmill impression. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEB6JqHcMf4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
