Watch out, Norfolk! I passed!

Completed my DAS yesterday (only two minors!) and spent today out in my little corner of Norfolk on the big boy bike. And what a beauty she is!

I've been riding an SV 650 for training and found it a bit twitchy for my liking. Thankfully, the VFR is absolutely perfect, power-wise. Docile for traffic and cruising, and some oomph for fun. Coupled with the fantastic sound, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a VFR 750 to anyone. But not this one - it's mine.

Keep an eye out if you're in Norfolk and give us a wave! Happy riding!

I'm in Yarmouth, so I'd keep off the A47 and A143.

Oh, I've got plans. I'll probably start off easy and go to Wales or France.

She's a beaut! I was toying with the idea of doing my DAS and getting a 125 while i get a feel for everything, does the DAS prepare you for a bigger bike?

Suppose i'll get my DAS done before i decide but just wondering about your experience!

The DAS does prepare you for the bigger bikes (have to ride one to pass the test), but I found buggering about on a 125 over the summer useful. Also, you only need a CBT for the 125.

Like it, might get the cbt, borrow a 125 off a chum while i'm learning the ropes and doing das bits.

You're going to need a CBT regardless, so you may as well. Your instructors will let you know your best path.
