Probably my biggest regret is not taking my bike test when i was 17 but then you hopped off your fizzy & onto an RD250DX or a KH250 triple (my fave) so there seemed no need to take the test then we wanted a car on the road so my bike test never happened. I'm still tempted to do it & my choice of bike is a Suzi Bandit, cheap to buy & insure. I've had the 600 & ridden a 1200 so it'd be the 1200 if i did it. 8-)

Must admit I like the 1200 Bandit myself qnd they look a big motorbike until parked next to a GSX1400 :o then the Bandit looks tiny would you believe :-?

Talking of big Soozookeez, if you think the GSX1400 looks big, take a look at the B-KING  :o  http://thekneeslider.com/images/08bking.jpg

Sat on the Bandits, again not really much of an improvement, naked bike, still a tad on the small side height wise.

I work in the motorcycle industry and we have CBT's on site at the weekend, but it's changed so much recently, I've lost track of what is involved in getting a full licence nowadays.
I think it falls just short of blindfold uni-cycling, backwards, on a greasy wire, over shark infested water.

Me too. It seems you have to jump though hoops to get it.

I passed mine Nov 80 in Dunfermline!

Took me 3 attempts to pass, mainly due to me putting my foot down in the U-turn.
