Who on here has their full bike licence? and what was your 1st bike? 400cc, 600cc?
thinking about going for this in the next month or 2, either that or a t34 turbo not sure what is going to give me more fun 
can get Direct Access on a 3 days course for £471 inlcuding theory all test fees, and a gaurunteed pass.
Been on bikes most of my life.. mostly crossers though, been out on my brothers bike a few times, which is now just sitting in the back garden doing nothing GSF500 full fairing model (same as the puff daddy music video, ill be missing you )
Always fancied an R1 although their is no chance i would get one of these straight away, was thinking VFR400 or GSXR600 mmmmm
Opinions?!?

Yeah so have i KK would be more expensive but i would have thought a kkk26 would be more neeficial due to it being a straight swop for std one? no need for new manifold exernal wastegate etc etc.
Not that i confess to know all about them! Theres a guy selling a T34 with manifold etc etc on clubcalibra

I didnt think you were allowed anything like a 600 until you had done the 2yrs or DAS at 21?

It has to be restricted to 33bhp.
But you can have anything you want restricted.
Then if your feeling brave take it off

Get a bike,summer is coming =D.
i agree with jamier.. R6..cant fault thier reliability,and they arent that old so you can get a great condition used bike...
and the bike in the puffy vid was a gsxr 1100 i believe..legendary bikes!
