Suzuki Gladius (with CJ Ball)
Hot - Strong acceleration, smooth steering, makes a nice noise, understanding (but not too much) clutch.
Not - I don't own one, rear brake comes on if you think too hard at the foot peg.
Honda CBF600 (with Craft Motorcycle Training)
Hot - Stable, good smooth engine (no excitement: as we like it), smooth clutch.
Not - Gearshifter was maddeningly sensitive and almost unable to find neutral (I think it was nackered but the instructor swore blind that I just needed to be 'more delicate'), lower gears easily slipped between each-other indicating the gearbox / clutch were probably nackered.
Yamaha XJ6 (with Camrider)
Hot - Very powerful, impressive presence, looks very nice.
Not - Crazy-sensitive clutch, engine a bit strong for a learner, HEAVY.
Kawasaki ER5 (with Camrider)
Hot - Just keeps on truckin', allows all manner of mistakes, very forgiving clutch.
Not - Stodgy everything, heavy steering, gears could be shifted without the clutch being properly depressed.
Sinnis Trackstar 125 (with Camrider)
Hot - Looks like the kinda bike Indiana Jones would ride (big plus), comfortable seat (good for shorties), comfortable riding position
Not - Clutch a bit weedy, not very strong engine (might be because its a 125, but maybe not)
