Newbie saying HI
 
Hi...

I'm Matt from Doncaster and I thought I had better say hello, been having a good look round and the site looks good.

I'm just doing my DAS at the moment (Mod 1 on Monday) and so far have 3 bikes on the short list, obviously the SV is one of them, the others are Yamaha Thundercat and a CBR 600 although a couple of my mates say if i get anything other than a bandit then I will get a slap (they both own 1200 bandits)

Anything will be more capable than the current steed... a 1993 CG125;)

Two cylinders has to be the way to go, but first things first... good luck with Mod 1. I'd say break a leg, but I think its was tried over at Rotherham test centre on day 1 ;)

If your budget allows, get a pointy, they are far superior in every way and will start in the winter and not freeze.

nowt wrong with bandits - depends what style bike you want and what you are going to be using it for, bandit is a good all rounder, but SV's are cool :cool:

Curvy's are nicer than harsh pointy's.

ooh and dont get a thundercat - there crap! lol bit too heavy for the size of the bike, and there crap. ;)

Welcome to the forum by the way, and best of luck with the Mod 1.

Hey, another Newbie! Hi.. I'm one too.

Good luck with the tests etc, read up everything you can and decide for yourself what bike you want/can afford.

As long as YOU are happy, the rest is just horsesh..
