SO i had to sell my Hyo GT250r needed money for baby stuff and with my wrist all destroyed after surgery its hard to ride a sports bike having that much weight on my wrists. I have my restricted but have only had it a few months got a wee way to go before i can get my full.
I need idea's im 6'3 and 124kg's I have tried the gv250 and its too small, infact most bikes i have come across are too small. I only have 1k to spend and i only really need the bike to get my skill level up and its really only town riding i will be doing but it would be nice if the bike could do 100km's without dying.
So i'm well aware my option's arn't numerous, Im well aware i get what i pay for and im well aware some people will thinks its better off to just wait it out and save my penny's. But if i dont ride i dont get skills, if i dont have any skills im going to kill myself when i jump on my harley once i have my full.
Im not looking for critisim just bike idea's. I was looking at the cb250rs tis an old bike but what do you guys think? is it big enough?

Go to a bike shop. Look at their stock. Ask questions. Ask for a sit. Ask for a test ride. Try different models and styles. It's not hard to do. In fact it's quite easy and enjoyable.
