Hi,

What would your suggestions be for a beginners bike? One for long journeys and also in and around the city ?

Thanks

Any idea of what bike takes your fancy? Do you like cruisers, sports or upright bikes? What age are you, as this will determine what license type you can apply for?

Knowing nothing about you research these few.....

Suzuki V Strom 650
Suzuki Bandit 600
Yamaha FZ6 (My Pick)
Honda CB500
Suzuki SV650
Honda Hornet 600

I think the best bit of advice i got when i was thinking about what kind of bike i should get was do the IBT first, trying out a few bikes makes things a lot clearer. Im not sure if any instructors would have a cruiser but it would be no harm in ringing around and asking.

The Airport Driving School has a Virago 535cc which I used. Not really my thing but was decent.
