in order to save some money getting train/coach tickets to work I'm thinking about getting one. Would involve me doing the test and all that because I don't know how to ride one etc...

Plus points

Faster
Cheaper
more fun

Bad points

Possibility of killing myself



your views are very much welcome

I bought myself abike and used it along side my car for about 4 months then got bored and sold it. Was a DT125, was fun off-road on warm days but hated it when cold/raining.

Supermoto would be cool, it'd have to be a big single 650 tho, noise is ace

If you're after a sports bike and you're more than 5, 6" i'd give a 400 (baby ninja, baby blade etc|) a wide birth

Would never use mine everyday, its something for the weekend

You've picked the wrong time of year to be getting one, trust me you'll not enjoy HAVING to go out on it in all weathers
