Bought this beauty yesterday!
It’s an 04 Bandit 600 with just 10K miles on the clock for £1900.
It’s almost brand new and runs like a dream.
I am originally from India and apart from my Royal Enfield 350 Bullet there this the biggest bike I’ve ever ridden. I have been riding since I was 16 which is 8 years now!
I am still on an Indian license which is valid till August, I have to pass my tests and get a license before that.
I have done my CBT on 10th march in UK so I have a provisional license but rather than going for a 125cc I thought why not take advantage of the indian license and climb up the ladder.
I work in Oxford Circus area and intend to ride from Finsbury park to work. Today was my first day, it was a bit scary (mainly because of the size of the machine) but really exciting.
If you have any guidance or tips for me as a newbie riding such a big machine or about passing the tests, please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
I am guessing I will be posting lots of n00bie posts asking for help as I ride more
Firstly, it would be very helpful if you could post a picture of yourself and your pride and joy in the pinned thread “Newbie Face/Bike Photo Sheet” at the top of the newbie forum, this will help the community recognise you at meets and of course ride-outs.
LB has a regular Wednesday night meet at Borough Market (BM) where we hope you’ll come down and meet like minded members.
Welcome to the LB family… Funny that in India nearly everyone rides a 2 wheels but here hardly any… Nice to know they are out there…
Get out on some ride outs and enjoy.
Amit…
