Have finally got round to doing something about getting a motorbike. Have booked the motorcycle theory test, its for the 19th of June, and Ive been swatting up on the test so hopefully it wont be too hard. If I get through that ok I will then book a CBT and then look at doing the practical test.

I heard something about that...where folk were falling off their bikes, not looking forward to that really.
Have been thinking about which bike I would like to get, and currently this looks most interesting
if I can pass, I will get a bike in the spring. Maybe the 2011 edition will be available then.

P.S. If you are keen on getting some weaponry like that, then do some track training. Humbling experience.
I'd say it will take 2 years of riding every day before you are ready to get the benefit of that stuff, unless you are an experienced motoX rider or something already.
However, if that's your first bike.... jealous!

How about a Super Motard instead?
Powered by a distinct READY TO RACE mentality, KTM is Europe’s leading high-performance motorcycle manufacturer, catering to all segments including Enduro, Motocross, Travel, Naked, Supermoto and Supersport.
Single cylinder will be great away from the line and it'll be easier to ride than the GSXR, and has a comfy seat. It can't do motorway for miles and miles, but you can ride through holes mid corner, unlike the GSXR, which will complain.
The weaponry is great for A roads and track sessions, but my next bike will be a motard because all the roads round me are either super tight bends with holes and mud, or around town (where the single-cy will leave the 4cy for dead).
There a fair few cheaper motard options than that KTM, although that one has a tiny front fairing.
