I love my boy been riding now 5 weeks ish' and LOVE IT. this bike actually has more BHP than the Ninja, just doesn't look as sexy

Happy riding, and good luck with your choice.

Not trying to bag your ride, but - that model have about the worst front suspension ever put on a motorcycle (well in the last 25yrs anyway). That said, if you weigh < 45kg it's passable.
I seriously question the wisdom of lumping a noob who is least able to ride around it with the worst suspension.

So why is it that the chicks always get the most replies? Lots of lonely men on this forum! Welcome aboard Miss D!

Ahhh...sounds like the one that was looked at by another certain KB'er.
Great price and condition

Yup! umm not quite ready to jump straight to the track though lol I haven't ridden since my BHS in January! Need to do a bit of practise on quiet streets / car parks first. Lisa hooked me up with some people down there to look at it for me, yep apparently it's a minta - real bargain. woohoo!

Yeah mate, that's the one then. You've scored a stupidly good deal

[Mental Trousers]

That's the wrong way around. Jump straight out on the track and you'll end the day with a level of confidence you wouldn't believe. Talk to Rachel. I'm betting you and her will ride about the same speed and she always looks like she's having a great time on the track.

It's a much safer place to learn than on the road.

Really? After only 2 hours riding experience?? I agree it's a great place to learn but thought I should get the basics first? Like not falling over?? lol

Yeah sure. There's a whole lot of people at the Ride Days that are happy to help you out. Do a bit of BHS practice and you'll be fine.

Sweet just organised with Rach to go for a ride together on Sunday afternoon. Will do a bit of that before hitting the track, definitely need to brush up on BHS.

Sweet as. Just remember that riding on the track is worth about a month on the road. You learn at an accelerated rate there so don't leave it too long.
