RAYK47 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Ok I know I am jumping the gun a little bearing in mind I have not passed my DAS yet. However I can't stop looking at "big" bikes. And as I always take ages making up mind, maybe it's time to start thinking.I am hoping to have a budget of about £4k and will want to use it for commuting 30miles into the city of London, so needs to comply with ULEZ rules. Plus I will want to have some weekend fun so not all sensible. I like the naked look so have been thinking of the following: -- MT-07- SV650- CB650FBut what I really really want is a triple. I have fallen in love with them. Am I being stupid considering a triple as a first big bike? The reviews are great and although £4k will mean older or higher mileage than the others.Once I pass I do intend to go on some test rides to make sure they are right. Quote
Mickly Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 You obviously feel the need for Speed - Speedtriple Or if your a bit effeminate a Streettriple Quote
RAYK47 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 You obviously feel the need for Speed - Speedtriple Or if your a bit effeminate a Streettriple I guess I am effeminate, or prefer the steering position and smaller engine (due to inexperience and insurance costs) Quote
Mickly Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Tee heeThe Street is an excellent bike - test ride it - you’ll love it Quote

xMachina Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Don't worry about jumping the gun, I bought my Bandit before I'd even booked my DAS let alone passed it! Quote
geofferz Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Mt-07, or street triple. Triple for first big bike is fine - I got a litre bike for mine last year. Quote
brad93 Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I’m in the same boat as you. Not passed yet but already looking for what I want. Can’t decide whether to get an older SV650, or a couple year old er6n or be slightly more sensible with a duke 390 Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Can't go wrong with a zx6r.....I know where theres one for sale Quote
RAYK47 Posted February 22, 2019 Author Posted February 22, 2019 Used to love ninja's but at my time in life I need something a little more comfortable. I sat on an R1 (my first love) and quickly realised that was not the riding position I want to be in. Quote
