Some nice bikes in here... Particularly Jimmy & Allan's R6's, but I suppose I'm a little biast - here's my toy

And finally, a recent picture of my nephew enjoying a "ride" on the bike...

I've not used it since November (well, apart from the odd short ride), but am planning to get it back out next month. Gonna give it some TLC 1st in the name of a service, new tyres & brakes and a good old polish

...also got some new toys to fit to it.

Come next winter, I'm thinking about stripping it down & having the frame & swingarm powdercoated black. That's if I dont sell it for a new shape R6 this summer

What bike would you suggest for a beginner? Around 2k??

Am going to do direct access course in about a month so would like to get looking for a good beginner bike.

btw do you use your own bike on the direct access course?

Tiesto, bike schools generally have the bikes and the price includes hiring. They are usually CB500's, Er500's or GS500's.

A good first bike (if you've never ridden one before) would be something like a 400 like a Honda RVF 400 (NC-35) or if you want something that a little more sit up type you can't go wrong with a Suzuki Bandit 600 or a Suzuki SV 650.

This was my first road bike that i built.....

Not sure on bikes etc mate but for your other question, if you have your own bike and they see it fit to use, Mot etc. Then you can use it, If not you can just use one of theres.

My Gsxr srad 600.

Cost me £700

Need to be converted back to sports farings tho.

My Gilera 172.

My old zip 50 with Gilera Runner tuned and ported 172 engine, from 5bhp standard to 26bhp

This is my mates Matt bike, he tuned the scooter engine for me and works at F1moto near Brans.

...

New r6 looks out of proportion to me with all 90% of the body mass at the front and then this tiny slither of body work at the back.
Has been clocked with gps @ 172.4mph, who needs a 1000cc..
