the bike is all up together and generally clean, as i said its totally original so obviously not going to be mint. Unfortunately there isn't any documents to prove the mileage, but I cant see any reason for it not to be real. The thing is though, if i tidied it up/restored it, it would de-value it! it would just be another restored bike the same as all the other ones advertised. But, if you try to go and find a really original unmolested bike, you'll struggle to find what you're looking for. It's easy to restore a bike, impossible to fake originality. Ahh i dont want to buy a modern bike, no matter what you buy you'll loose money on it, and I can have just as much fun on my kettle, and when i get bored with it i can sell it and make a profit - win win i didnt get it because i thought it was practical, i just really liked it and there's plenty of profit in it for me so why not??

Here's my bike in all it's glory

Didn't get my years wrong, is a 72 Suzuki gt750. Dead original, only done 3126 miles from new!! granted, is a bit of an odd choice for a learning 19 year old, but i work in the motor trade, work for a car main dealer as a salesman and by and sell my own, pretty much all classics. Certainly is a step up from my 89 Cr 250! I will advertise it for a 'i don't want to sell it price' and it it goes, i'll get a pre unit triumph 650 then I shouldn't have to restrict it either.. Definitely not an ideal bike to learn on, but it came up for sale at a decent price so i bought it. As i mentioned before, I have ridden bikes my entire life, so it's not like i wont be able to slalom through some cones on it, just a f ing big bike that i have hardly ridden Right, ok. I do have access to a van, so transport isnt an issue. Will any test centres be able to supply a suitable bike? or be able to hire one for the day from somewhere? May not end up needing to do this but its just another option as i want to do the test asap but the gt750 needs a few little bits doing to it, only servicing it really.. Dont know if any of you are into twinshock trials bikes but ive got a 74 bultaco sherpa im looking to sell thanks for all the help by the way

yeah i have access to a bit of private land.. I'm plenty confident on a bike, been riding them my whole life, ride motocross at the moment too. I read that i could use it on the road if i was followed by a qualified instructor while using an earpiece, but still that means i'd have to pay for some lessons and i've just spent all my money on the gt750. im sure it'll be fine on the day. So if i have my test booked, will i be able to ride the bike to the test or will that not be allowed too?

So im 19, want to get my a2 bike licence. I had done all my cbt and theory but it expired, ive got it all booked in though.. After ive done my cbt and theory, is there any way of riding my a2 bike on the road before my tests? (just bought a 1972 gt750 which im getting restricted to 47hp) I haven't ridden anything bigger than a 125 (actually a 250, but nobody knew any different) so surely it would seem a bit silly if the first time i rode the bike was on my test?! please let me know if there is any way around this thanks
