Motorbikes

[TARPD]

ok, i'm doing my cbt in a fortnight.

i cant decide which bike i want (getting one in march )

my choices

varadero 125 - looks a bit big for a 125 but apparently not underpowered - 3000quid (darn school pcs)





XRL 125 - looks fun and ive heard its pretty good offroad - 2000quid



p.s post pics of other bikes to drool over if you want B)

I thought you said Motorbikes - not mopeds

Just kidding, nice one - good luck and be carefull - my personal favourite is the Intruder 1400 - nice cruising model - something to look forward to maybe??

Be extremely wary of others, they dont see you and you have to think for them - motorbikes dont exist for the ordinary motorist so treat them as assholes and you might survive - i mean that

Peace

Don't worry about the CBT, it's not really any different from a Cycling proficience test, 99.9% people pass it

As for the bike, XLR125
I had an XL250 (which is a chunky bike) and they are good off road.
But take note of what ukman said, Lights on 100% of the time.
To car drivers you are invisible.

And don't be a muppet and drive like a twat cos you give us bikers a bad name

Just enjoy the freedom

And you can't ride bigger than a 250 for 2 years after getting a liscence in the uk unless you're over 25

ive done loads of research, theres different types of license. i could do my cbt and get a1 on my license which means i can get a 125. or i could do the proper test and get anything upto 33bhp. that could mean in a month or two i'd be riding a 650cc bike (restricted a bit ). the insurance would kill me though

heres another picture of that varadero. i really like and want this bike but i wanna know how it performs before thinking about paying for it.



or i could be good for 2 years and get the 1000cc version
