1. "Best bike" is a very subjective thing. Best at what? Every year there is an award for European Best Car of the Year. Each year it is won by a bland family friendly hatchback which almost nobody I know would say they really want to get that car. But according to the voters it's the best. The only way to find what's best for you is to do the research, go look at, sit on, price up the bikes, and ride them once you have the appropriate licence. 2. Comments like this really boil my piss. Loads of forum members have taken time out to give good sound advice, and then you reveal that all you want is to dick around. If you're gonna do that on the road buy something old and tatty with engine bars cos you're gonna crash it ..... a lot! Best advice - pass your car test, buy a van, buy a motocrosser or track bike, then do your dicking around away from the roads we all use with a modicum of common Sense. Nothing personal dude - just my opinion Yea I know all that, but if I wanted something for practicality I'd get a car, i don't want a bike to get from point A to point B, diffident people like diffident type of riding, a for me a bike that will be more for fun, I'll still use it to get to college and back, I know people are giving me good advice and it's not like I'm saying that there advice is stupid or anything, a lot of the comments are helping, i just forgot to mention in the post what I'll be doing on the bike what I'll use it for so I'm just saying so that people understand what type of riding style is mine to help me figure out what the best option would be for me

Hahaha so Suoermotos are barely older than me

The site is great, thanks

Adventures and tourist bikes aren't really my type, like I prefer naked, SM's or race bikes, those are more my style, for example I like the look of the BMW GS but it's not something I'd ride because theyre huge and heavy, I'm more for aggressive type of riding, like going low on corners, wheelies and all that But thanks for the advice anyway

Is a scrambler not kind of a chopper looking bike, like a cafe racer mixed with a chopper with off road tyres?

I didint even know that, that's good to hear

Please forgive my directness but if you're already talking about racing your mates then I suggest you skip the motorbike thing and save for a car . I said that as a joke, like I know I have no chance in beating a 90bhp custom kawasaki ER6 with a 47bhp stock bike, I basically meant that I want something that won't drag so much behind that my pal is gonna take the piss that he's faster and all that, I'm planning on getting a car anyway for practicality later on after the bike anyway but for now I want to ride and chill, go to the 3 sisters up north, a car won't be as fun

I mean, I don't think there's any point to get a 701 just yet (and BTW the 701 is one of my dream motorbikes) because if I get it restriccted then that's like another £200, that's what my pal has to pay for his ER6 at least, but then again, and when I'm 21 and decide to get idk a 1000cc then it'll be a waste of money wouldn't it? And plus I'd hate to restrict a motorbike, I'd probably tak it off as soon as I get the paper saying that I got it restricted But anyway thanks for the advice it's helping me narrow down what I really want

That's a good point,I would have to see if the bike is big enough, I have a cbr 125r but I'm 6ft 4 and it a bit too small for me

Hi I'm adam I'm turning 19 in just over a year and I want to start saving up for a good a2 legal motorbike (47bhp max and preferably a SM) I was looking at ktm exc's, honda crf's, drz's etc. But I'm not sure what I should choose. Also my friend has Kawasaki ER6, so if there's any supermotos faster than the ER6 please tell me, I can't let him overtake me every 2 seconds, but it doesn't have to be an SM it's just what I'd prefer but I also like race bikes, nakeds.. Everything tbh EXCPET mopeds/scooters Thanks.
