I know theres a few people on here with a bike license.
I'm thinking about doing my das in the next month or so but I need to do my theory first. Does anyone know a website where it gives u examples of questions so I can get some practice in?

I've been riding a 125cc for nearly a year now, how many days do u think I should book for training?
Also what bike do u reckon I should go for? for about £1500

thanks

should only need 1 full days maybe 2 days training if u have been riding a geared bike for a while, a 400 is a gd first bike for a first one if ur doing the restricted test!

CBR 400`s are very gd and reliable, ZXR400`s are fastest of the 400`s but more expensive, FZR400`s are gd all round but are very skiny!

CBR400 is the best all round and easy to get hold of and parts for them!

yeah, but you'd have more fun on a VFR400, they are lighter, better balanced and fairly quick for a 400, also, they were voted the best 400 of all time by Performance Bike magazine about a year ago

and 125cc to 400cc is a big step, anything more and it might be a bit much
