Hey Tangles.
Just rode my cousins brand new GSXR-750 today.
Absolutely brillant.
It makes you remember how pathetic cars are in comparison to a motorbike.
I'm really thinking of getting rid of the r34 and going for another new bike.
Abo Bob, tangles is right don't waste your money on a learners bike. Chances are you'll drop it. And you don't want to spend too much money.
I'm a fan of twins as they don't need to be revved as much so maybe look at a cb250. Or if you want something a little more exciting a Honda Sparda is damn nice. They use the same engine as the VTR250. Only most of them are alot older.
Also when you get your full license don't go for the most expensive bike you can afford. Riding something that is too powerful for you. Will end up making you a worse rider as you will be too scared.
You see lots of wankers that go fast in the straights then slow right down for the corners. And corners are where the fun on a bike.
Have fun, any questions just ask us. And welcome to a new biker.
P.S.
Don't be foolish and say your car is faster then most bikes because you are just embarassing yourself.
A new 600 that can be had for 15,000 and have a 3 year factory warrenty. Will be faster then your line in any corner or drag comp.
