Has he tried an sv?

Just give him a slap and put him on an Sv.
YOU know it makes sense.

I hear the shouts for CBR but think he'll kill him self going straight on at a bend, a little too much poke for a first bike IMO.

And ROFL, you're all doing exactly what I've done. Racked my brains trying to find something that beats the SV and just ended right back up at the SV everytime. I assumed it was because I was bais to the things but it does infact seem its because its just a great choice plain and simple.

Keep the suggestions coming thought please, he's interested in the varients.

Who's this for Matt? SV is perfect for the job.

Or this xj600 - doesn't matter if he drops this on a bend!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1707955401...#ht_808wt_1270

i think you may be giving him less credit than he deserves. if he has passed his test then he is deemed to be a competent rider. people by nature don't have a death wish so he will quickly learn how the right hand controls the speed. the cbr is a quick bike but it also has good suspension and brakes, something the sv has not.

But can a cbr live with a Lambo's 520horses.

Honestly Bibio, Im not he used to have a 125nsr but he killed that with poor maintenance.
The same way he killed his Nova, His Polo and His Punto. In fairness his Escort was written off when he drove into someones trailer and his Saxo was repossesed... But his Vito CDi van is going strong...

What ever he gets he wont have it long for 2 reasons:
1, He's very flippent - passing his bike test is his current "thing"
2, If he has it for longer than 6months he'll kill with poor maintenance if it doesnt kill him in the intrim.
