2008 Bike for 600 quid  

With the loooming prospect of work over the pond, considering learning to ride a bike. With a bike i can have my own transport times i come back.

Place here offers CBT for £99, seen them go up and down my road  

Any suggestions for a good bike for starters?

Bit big for a learner.

I learned on a Suzuki GS1000 (not legally of course) & took my test on Suzuki 125
Too big. Pah

Remember CBT lasts 3yrs only.  You need to take the direct access (and take test on 500+ bike) for a permenent licence.

125s probably a bit scary round here, due to fast roads - most current 125s bottom out around 60 ish.


If you want to scare yourself witless, fancy my ZX-10?

Think thats a bit on the large side for me  

Seriously though next month i am seriously thinking of doing a CBT (3 year limit is not an issue)

I was thinking the same about a 125, flat out i can get 60... which should really be a cruise speed!

CBT limits me to 125cc i think? or a certain bhp?

Cause i heard you can get a big bike, and then just limit them with a chip?

I used to own a 100cc with a GENUINE maximum of 80mph. Yes it was tuned and I started with the quickest - early GP100 disc brake model

SOme friends had 250s (last year of 250 learners) and my 100 kept up!

All modern ones are 4 strokes (and significantly more reliable without weekly work ). 60mph is about the limit.

irrelevent, coz with the power available, will still only do 60 flat out. Actually, probably less due to extra weight.

No fun then. I liked my old 100 it was a good first bike

Nody wants 2 strokes, too high maintenence.

I can't see a 100cc bike keeping up with a 250cc.

Its like 2.5 Omega Vs 3.0....

3.0 will just walk away!
