Very cool bike. If I wanted a street fighter kind of bike, something like that would be it!

It is a litre bike, with way too much oomph, right? Sweeeeet.
It is indeed an 1000cc with 160hp. It's got 3 riding modes which allow you to swap around depending on how you feel. STD is the softest mode, A is sporty with a faster reach to power, ideal for city driving, and B stands for Beast, made my back hurt for 3 days. B you get full power as soon as you touch the throttle, takes some getting used to, since the bike only has 200kgs. I love it. I'm very happy with it, met all my expectations, and it get lots of looks and questions from people. It's a lot of fun to have people approach you and ask questions. You get to engage a little bit with other motorbike enthusiasts.

I've just changed the exhaust on my bike to an Akrapovic (Yes, the bike is dirty, it rained after I washed it):

I'm not a TOGA (maybe yet) but I just restarted biking got a little Lexmoto Venom SE 125cc does about 60 with my fat ass on it and I don't live near any roads that need 60+ mph so suits me fine, once I start my new job I'm gonna save up for my DAS course and get my full licence.
Riding on the road is a big change compared to me ripping around fields on my old 125 2-stroke I kinda wanna get my dirt bike on the road because the power is so much better xD

It's got a cool colour scheme.

I really liked the Venom blue and white version as well, but to be honest I just wanted a cheap bike to get me to work and back I picked it up for 1500 brand new, tax and 1year insurance from my dealer, I could have got a cheap second hand Yam or Honda at that price point but I would be looking at 10+ year old bikes.

I hear a lot of bad stuff about chinese bikes but I have not had a problem apart from when I changed my pipes I forgot to install a new main jet causing it to bog down, I really want a MT-07 or SV-650

It's a good way to start! What big bike are you aiming for, once you get your license?

Depends on the year model, but they are very good bikes. Easy to ride and extremely powerfull when you want it. The newer models all have the mode switch on the handles. 1 for neutered, 2 for normal and 3 for full balls to the wall! Look out for the older 1000's. They are less "easy" to ride, because they only had a "full balls to the wall" mode. My one would pop a wheely in top gear.... Yeah! That was the good life! YOLO! I had no kids... :p:excited:

And the 600 and the 750 are about the same... I also had a 750 k5. Back wheel action easy as taking candy from a baby

Not into bikes as a couple of good friends got killed when we were in our early twenties. I found these I took at the Harley Davidson training place in Birmingham a couple of years ago.
