Evening all!
Â
I passed my A2 last September and have just flogged my poor old YBR 125. NEW BIKE TIME! I'm going to pick this fella up on Saturday..

Â
I'm 6'3" and sat on loads of bikes, quickly comming to the conclusion that I needed an upright-ey tourer thing in which to fit my stupid legs. After trying Versys' and V-strom's This was by miles the most comfortable thing I have sat on. Both feet touch down comfortably but I'm not cramped at all when riding. I left a deposit a few weeks ago and have to drive it up to London from Bournemouth for my very first ride! I haven't ridden anything more powerful than a 125 since I did my test on an xj6. The first thing I have to navigate is a 100 metre loose gravel driveway at a 25 degree decline heading onto an A road. Sweeeeet. I'll report back to let you know I got home safe!
Â
I will be mainly using it for commuting and convincing my girlfriend that bikes aren't that bad by taking her into town on Sunday's and driving like Hoke Colburn. I have been bikeless for a week and forced to take the train. Hated every second of it. I cannot wait to get my wheels!
