Been out hooning it round all day

First bike, if were talking sportsbike I'd say Kawasaki ZX6R is the perfect first bike

Have messed about on bikes but never taken the plunge to pass test, but am now seriously thinking about it.

thats my first and only bike so far, seems like the SRAD's are rather popular on here

first year insurance was 679 tpf&t with 3 points on my license at 23yrs old

handling is spot on and the bikes plenty fast enough for a novice
