    Going back to the bike choice, stick with the 250 if that is what you feel confident on, but as said stay away from the 125.

    Like others, I started in a restricted bandit. The reason I went for this as opposed to a 250 is because I am using it for my commute, which is 55 kilometers a day on dual carriage way and motorway. Was advised that the Bandit would be better suited for this as opposed to a smaller bike. Plus, taste dictated what bike not to get. Also, didn't want a sports bike as dropping one of them is an expensive fix.

    Weigh up what you need the bike for, what style you like and then the price you are willing to spend as this will also dictate bike choice.

    Its up to you to ensure your bike is restricted. Not the tester or insurance company.

    I didn't fancy doing my test on my 1400 (even though it was legit)- I thought it would look bad. I borrowed my instructors factory restricted transalp. He asked to see the restriction cert even though the bike was emblazoned with my instructor's livery.
