  1. Yes I thought so, but everywhere I read it says 250/300 are good starter bikes. Most people also say that within 12months I will end up wanting something bigger, but it's good for the experience.
  2. General opinion is that the 250-300 are good starter bikes and are able to be thrown around and easy to learn on, might be worth test riding one (if possible) when you pass DAS to see if the riding position is for you, I wouldn't advise investing in a bike without a test ride (despite how shiny they look in the showroom). Good luck on the tests I won't be wearing hiking boots after the CBT. Thanks I'll check the RST's out, although the RST stuff does look a bit "flash". Well I won't be buying the bike new, so might be hard to test drive one unfortunately.
  3. Just passed my test using Camrider Which branch you doing it at? You can get away wearing ordinary jeans as long as they have no rips. As for boots, after my first part of the CBT I went out and bought some RST Adventure boots because I was having great difficulty changing gear with my walking boots but maybe that was just me. I think you just need some sturdy boots that give some ankle protection and the ones you gave a link for look like they would be ok but don't quote me! Can you get to Camrider beforehand to show them? I bought the Alpha III jeans but have yet to actually wear them on a bike. I can't comment on other gear because I have no experience of it. Congrats! I've heard good things about them! Up north in Chester. Cheers for the info. I'm going to try some boots on see what feels best I think. Not I'm leaning towards getting leather or kevlar jeans for pants decisions! Have you got a bike yet?
  4. Hi, I've recently booked my CBT on a 125, MOD1 and MOD2 + training with Camrider which I will be doing next month. They provide everything including helmet, gloves and jacket. The only gear I need to buy prior are boots and pants. Would hiking style boots be sufficient for this? I have these https://www.surfdome.com/dc_boots_-_dc_peary_boots_-_choco_brown-137501 but don't want to turn up to be told no! If not I was looking at getting the Spada ST1 WP Boots http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_rev/54392/page_1/max_20 would anyone not agree with this? Or they do some shorter ones Spada Icon WP Boots http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/76680 which look a bit more comfortable and will be able to change the gear easier as I get used to it? With regards to pants I was looking at the RST Alpha 3 Textile Jeans http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/190903 or the ARMR Moto Hara Jeans http://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/118236. Would appreciate peoples thoughts on the above choices or alternatives bearing in mind I'm new! I'm not 100% sure what bike I want after, but the Ninja 250r seems to be a good choice for a new rider and is well priced. So might be that.. Cheers
