Is that the Kwak Z750? If so lush bike!
When Burble and I sort our bike situation out we'll DEFINITELY have to do a proper bikers meet

It is indeed. I'll have to do a lot of saving if I decide to get one though, £3.5k for one of them really. I think I want one though
I can ride dad's TDM for a good six months or so if I choose to, so there's no real hurry other than the fact I want my own bike. The others on the list are: Bandit 600/650 - doubtful though, they just don't appeal to me a huge amount. Hornet 600 - nyum nyum. Husqvarna 610 supermoto - eee! I want one! BUT reasonably expensive and fairly useless practicality wise, plus the plod love to pull motards over. BMW 650GS - I'd love one, but probably too tall a seat for me while I'm a new rider. Tippy toes job almost. Fazer 600 - I like these, definitely high up the list.

Nice one Rob. My first lid was a Lazer. Mine was a bit of a budget hat in hindsight but saying that it did last me 3 years, it was comfy 'til the end and withstood a right proper beating

I'm much rather have this £120 lid and know I can afford to buy another if I have to, than spend £300 on an Arai or Shoei and not be able to afford to replace it. They're all safe enough, and anything over £100 that fits my noggin is good enough for me. I don't think I've got an Arai shaped head anyway

It's pretty much down to two contenders now..
Z750 and an FZ6 The Z is edging it for looks and riding position, as well as that apparently it's much torquier... I don't want to have to rev the tits off my road bike, I get enough of that on the MX track! BUT the FZ6 is much more sindy friendly when/if it comes to her riding pillion. I'm buying it for me though not for her, and my dad had a perch on the pillion of the Z and said it would be fine for around town. I won't be taking her anywhere on it for at least six months anyway I should imagine.
