i took my motorcycle test ......
« on: 18 March 2009, 15:45:59 »

... and PASSED :)  :D

This time i used a Yamaha MT-03 660cc instead of the Kawasaki ER5, i much prefer the Yamaha, it looks like this:



660cc single, but the torque it pumps out is huge for a bike that size, any gear, any revs, it just pulls and pulls and pulls, never rev it about 6k, its actually faster short-shifting. Flat out its not much good as it tops out at 100, but i gets there so fast, and its balance is much better than the ER's i was really getting into the leaning around corners.

Was also leaving everything for dust at the lights, not something i am used to in a 2.2  ::)  ;D

Right time to get on biketrader and find me some wheels....

Yeah very well done.

You might want too look at something like a XT600 or similar.....ive had a couple of 600cc singles (XT600E and DR650).

Very easy too ride and huge grunt....not great top end but then do you really want too be doing 100mph plus.... :o

Well done Tunnie. :-* :-* :-*

I passed my bike test on a Suzuki bloop,well B120 actually. :-* :-*

I 'am surprised that you can take your test on a 660cc machine.I was only allowed to ride up to 125cc on "L" plates. :-* :-* :-*

Well done Mark - and yes - whatever you get, get something non sporty.


That single looks fun.

Look at the mid size twins and see what there is
