Welcome to KB. What sort of bikes interest you? I recommend a naked bike 'cos they are a bit more forgiving if you drop it (plastic fairings are expensive to replace). There are lots of good 250 choices. Anything from the big 4 manufacturers would be fine (Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Yamaha).

Modern Suzuki GN250s are of lower build quality and rust up quickly. IF you are doing a bit of open road, I recommend you go for a Vtwin 250 or poss. the Yamaha Scorpio 225 which has a good rap and a bit of poke too.

A great time to get a bike as well, since we are starting to head into the summer period.

Hi Stu from Tauranga.
