2nd bike

Hey

I am going to do my test soon and am thinking of what bike to get

I dont really want anything more than a 500. I have seen a few models I
like the look of:

Honda VFR400
Suzuki GS500
Yaman RD350/400

I want something stylish and not too boring, I found the Honda CB500 a
bit dull looking. It will have to be comfortable enough for 2/3 hour
riding and I'd prefer a low sear as I'm a short arse.

Would any of those models be good or has anyone else got any
suggestions

Personally, I'd consider the CB500. I've hired one a few times whilst on
holiday and found them to be great fun.

Anything's fun after owning a VFR800i.

Buy the RD400 and put a smile on your face.

Not the GS. Horrible bikes they are, terrible things and vastly
overpriced too, even 2nd hand and wore out. So overpriced in fact I can
only afford 2.

 

Kawasaki ER-5 or GPZ500. Originally thought to be bullet proof and
ultra-reliable until UKRMers individually destroyed three in the space
of a month.

 

Beware of buying any older bike.............you can spend a very large
amount of money and have very little to show for it!

In particular the old Yams can be a nightmare, and I would advise you to
steer well clear.

Buy something more modern, unless you are looking for a project and dont
mind spending money, and enjoy working on bikes.

Do take five mins to find the FAQ and read it old chap.

Sadly you're wasting your time with Ken, he's a well know troll and
