After holding a CBT twice and never finishing the licence, I've just done CBT for third time, booked theory and I'm determined to finish the test.
As I've had a tiny bit of bike experience and a lot of car experience, the instructors said I'll be good to go with 3 days of training.
I'm wondering if I should get a little 125 in the meantime to practice on, or just jump straight into the lessons on a big bike and see how I get on?
Also, what do you recommend for a first "big" bike? It seems to be very subjective. Bear in mind I'm 6'1 and 16 stone, if that has a bearing on it.
I have a mate who races (and is good) who says GSXRers are best for road bikes, as R6 and the like are built for the track.
I'm 90% sure my first bike will be a 600 as I feel I'm responsible enough to control my urge to go mad on it and consider myself to have well above average road awareness. I'm sure some would suggest starting with a smaller bike so I'll listen to all cases!
