Hi all, another new one with some basic questions!! I've had a search but can find nowt appropriate on the site.
Just failed test on a 500, stupid U turn, all else went ok but just cant get used to the damned U turn, cant get used to revving the guts out of the bike, riding clutch and breaking at the same time! I know the theory but have no way of practising, other than spending a fortune on training. Got the test again next week and thinking of doing it on the 125 and get a restricted bike for 2 years.
Thing is I only want to buy 1 bike and be don with it....Firstly does anyone know if the 800GS can be factory restricted? I know the 650 can but not sure about the 800. Secondly, i'm a short arse 5'7" with 29" inside leg, would I have problems with the 800? Ideally would like the 800 but must be practical.
