First Time Motorcycle Advice
I'm looking for some advice on which bike to opt for after passing my test hopefully in the next couple of months.
I've done my CBT before but its ran out now so retaking it in 3 weeks then on to Direct Access.
I've been advised to look at a 600cc as a first bike. I went to look at a Honda CBR 600RR at lunchtime, lovely bike and it is a sports bike I'm really looking for.
My only concern was at 6ft 2" it seemed a little small for my frame.
Any advice or bike recommendations welcome please.
cheers Andy

Or a hearse...
Mate of mine did this new-age biker thing and kept throwing his CBR 600 down the road. Think he stopped riding it in the end.
But at 6'2, you probably won't be comfortable on a 400. You're too young for anything like a cruiser, which you might fit better. A CBR600 is ultimately the default choice.
