Re: I passed my test today

Looking at a cbr600rr or a transalp. At 6ft 2 I am worried a sporty bike might be sore on my back. I guess best to try them out and see what feels good.

BTW Thanks to everyone on the forum for hints tips and pointers it was great help.

Great stuff mate - I'm really pleased for ya

Take your time choosing a bike though, make sure you get the right one

Re: I passed my test today

Good work. Our ranks grow stronger by the hour.

That's two very different bikes you're considering! Like you say, try 'em on. I'm 6' 2", when I was shopping the Ninja (models pre the 636 upgrade) and the CBR600f were the only bikes I could realistically see myself riding for any length of time. But it's horses for courses of course.

Re: I passed my test today

Well done on passing, go to as many different dealers and do test rides on the bikes you like the look of that will truely confuse you but it is fun.
