Get yourself a cheapish 500/600 to start with. Something like a suzuki 600bandit or cb500 cbr600

(don't do what I did and jump from a 125honda to 1000bmw!!!!)

I’ve still got my first big bike, Yamaha FZS 600 Fazer, it’s a great 1st bike.

Congratulations on passing your test!! time to get out and explore..think my fav best 1st biggish bike was an old honda cbr600f..great bike and so easy to ride and reliable. Then of course you can progress to big brother fireblade...especially a 954RR..enjoy and stay safe!

Well done and congats Mate.

Any decent middle weight would do you.

They have plenty of performance and have reasonable running costs.

Get your bike and then go and learn to ride it properly.

Find out your local branch of the IAM, join with them and enjoy the led rides and the individual rides with an instructor. Learn the Craft from them, it’s all about vision and what’s coming to you. It will save your life.

Couldn't agree more. As an ex observer I will guarantee it's the best thing you could ever do on a bike. Like poster says, it just might save your life. The road craft you will learn is trusted by all police, paramedics and blood bikers.

Welcome to the world of biking. A cliche I know but it's the best thing ever with clothes on.

Me too, ex observer!! It’s a great thing and last week when on tour I passed so many bikes all sitting in line behind each other or in a group where they were blinding each other’s vision. Truly dangerous. !!

Congratulations. What school did you do it with and are they any good? . Thinking of ditching my Grom and going bigger!

Thanks

Probably try and get something that’s nippy for city riding and get lots of security so it doesn’t get stolen x

Yep, agree totally. It transformed my riding and I’ve recently qualified as an IAM Observer which raises the bar to another level again. You never stop learning.
