if you only do your CBT you can't go bigger than 125. if you do big bike or restricted (depending on your age) get whatever the fuck you like

dont bother with a 250, you'll be bored, just get a 600.

"it's restricted to 33bhp officer" only phrase you'll ever need. infact if its police but not traffic police just fuck off into the distance

tbh police round here would know the difference
600 might be abit optimistic as a first bike on the road
if i get a 125 or 250 it will be fair bit cheaper aswell do the two years and then look into real bikes
i need 5k asap, bike and a clio 182

you might aswell get a 125 and save yourself a few grand rather than the 250 if you dont want to get anything bigger

Heres mine
Just do your full bike test and go for a 600 with the 33bhp restrictor kit After all you don't pass your full bike test to ride a scooter do you?
And remember this, A bike will only go as fast as YOU want it to. If you want to go all out and fly everywhere, or just take your time plodding along, Its up to you

to go to work i have to travel down the a45 and the a5 and see hundreds off bikes along it,
the main plus i see from a bike going to work i can over take so much easier and safer than the corsa, i have run out of overtaking lane on a few occasions
