New bike?

[metalhead]

ok so i have got $4000 from the insurance compainy, but i had to surrender the wreck of my last bike, so i am in need of something cheap to sit for my full licence.

any suggestions?

[NighthawkNZ]

any suggestions?

one with two wheels would be a good start...<_<

[ital916]

ax100, cheap, easy to ride, cheap, and you can bucket after. Oh and they are cheap, you can get one for under a grand leaving you with three more for your big bike.

Rent something, unless you want to keep the 250 or less for other purposes.

[James Deuce]

It's an upper limit, not a target ;)

not a bad suggestion if you're keen to give a two-stroker a go


One of the SMC guys (Ben) is selling his gpx250 for 3k with 15000km on the clock - PM bikr003

[metalhead]

i want something cheap that will do 110 if i feel like it

looks like i may be getting a kawasaki gpx 250

[jono035]

How long til your full? If it isn't long see if there is a 250 floating around that you can borrow until then...

Bit of a waste of effort to buy something only to sell it again in a month or 2...

Colemans suzuki do bike hire for licence tests...

How about a game of cards ?
(for money)

Yeah, and if you went in and put the money down on one of their bikes I'm sure they'd give you the bike to do the license on for free if you sweet talked em...

[steelestring]

Go put the money down on a 600 as a deposit at the shop. Just hire the 250 or just go buy zxr250:2guns:

i want to get a 400 cruser, if i buy something that i can ride around, maybe sell it for more then ill be better able to get something i actually want

[ital916]

just get the god damn ax100 or hire a bike for three days, do the test and then buy a nicer big bike.

[The Pastor]

400 crusers are a complete waste of money, you want to get a 500cc MIN for a crusier, 700-800 is ideal first cruiser.

[BANZAI]

Er, so no one suggested GN250 yet??

[Real_Wolf]

metalhead hates em

[metalhead]

no, coz they suck, awful seating position

[klyong82]

Honda's are better....ask Nish he'll agree :laugh:

+1

remember cruiser motors are total fail and produce less than half the power and torque than their capacity would suggest

less highly strung/under stressed is the correct terminology :laugh:

[metalhead]

[BANZAI]

Ah, coz GN needs either flat bar or MX bar or Clubman bar to change that awful position.
You don't know how quick the GN can be :p

[PirateJafa]

Yeah, I remember hearing about one that actually reached the speed limit once.

[metalhead]

my mum had one, it was the 2nd bike i ever rode, and i didnt like it even then.
its fucking awful
