I am a noob and thinking to buy a bike.

Honestly I am not a rich guy who can afford to buy a GT250R or a GPX250.
Im only 17 years old who would like to get on two wheels rather on four.

I am looking towards a Yamaha Scorpio Z or a used Suzuki FXR150.

And my other option is the Lifan LF125 motorbike which looks quite cool but not well known.

So what do you guys think? what bike should i go for?
Price range is around 3000 to 4000 max.

Please help :(

Ahaha how noob I was! :D:D:D (Still is :lol: )

Hello people, I'm new to this whole biking thing, but I'm hooked! So far I've only been on the back of my boyfriend's bike but I will be keen to get my own bike before too long. I need to plan what to get, save up, and start learning to ride. I'm planning to get professional lessons rather than let the b/f teach me. I reckon it will be less stressful for everyone that way.

So far the b/f has done his best to lose me off the back but I have always managed to stay put. I just wish he had a pillion seat with a bit more padding.

Since then I've learned to ride, bought by own bike, been knocked off it, fixed it up and riding again. I still like being on the back though! (And he still needs more padding on his pillion seat.)

howdy fellow kiwi riders

just got recommended the site by Crashe, had a quick look around, looks like a great place...never seen so many new zealand riders in one place! LOL.

spent 6 months last year in canada, developing my love of cleaning and passion for the life of an old lady. ive been with glenn [hounddog] for coming on 10 months, and through him i connected with a great number of bikers in central ontario, who dubbed me "kiwi"

i passed the skills test for my learners this morning, and hopefully going for the written by friday. i used dads suzuki gn250, which will be mine once i get the license. first thing ill be doing is ride out to the cemetary to see a friend who ive yet to visit.

looking forward to getting know more of you in the future.

I've been riding for 6 years and am on *my* first bike. I started on a pink ZZR250, moved onto my mother's 600 Bandit, then onto daddio's VN1500, then FINALLY bought my very own VTR1000 in Aug 02.
Oooh - forgot to add that I also own a yellow (2004) GSXR600

How many people are interesting in going to the track day on the 26th i might look at coming to auckland for this, i been to a couple of track days at taupo, but none at puke.

Also never taken the 1100 around a race track yet, wouldn't mind taking it for a blast, also thinking fridays should have to worry about to many people there

Hi
I want to bring my bike in from South Africa, rather than buy a new one here. Any tips or suggestions on where to go and who to talk to?
Joni

Ha ha ha... and that bike is still sitting in Johannesburg at a mate of mines... he takes it out once a week for me... he says its there in case I ever want to go back... such a sweetie! :sunny:

Is that why you haven't bought another one, Ms Joni?

And why did you and SpankyMe get rid of GoatFood? I miss that guy...

First post... some comment about a photoshopped new Firestorm VTR picture. Biking related rather than pointless drivel.

[Str8 Jacket]

My very first post..... If someone had told me back then that my life was about to change forever when I got my bike licence, I dont think I would have believed them! Im so glad I did though! :D


But I don't know where to begin?! One of my mates told me about this site and suggested that I get the info I need from here.

So here goes . . . .
I've only ever been a pillion and my first ride was over the Rimutakas on a 1000cc, it was one of the scariest things i had ever done at the time, but have really come to love it!
The only thing now is that I broke up with my partner who owned the bike and havent been on a bike since :no:
What im wanting to know is, is there anywhere in Wellington that will let me "hire" a bike so that i can get my confidence up to get my "handling certificate"? Also should I go for a 250cc or smaller?!! HELP PLEASE?!! Bearing in mind that I really haven't got much fof a clue! :D

Actually, I was lying.
I remember now - Toaster's post reminded me.

I used to have a VTR1000, and was on several overseas forums. At the time Dodgy Darryl also had one (in-between Moto Guzzis??), and he saw me on one of the forums and sent me KB way. My firstest post was asking about braided brake lines, after buying a set of BSR Aerotek lines on TardMe and being told they were illegal.

I am hereby addicted to speed - thanks guys. I am used to flying, but not along the ground - I guess my goal is to go faster next time?

250 is fun I gotta say, even though I only wound up to it 2x.

Awesome fun, lots of ruber gone from the back end and I have killed/cooked my rear brakes, but all in a good cause. I get to play with spanners and get out there again next time!

Here's my first post:


I was in Motorad today and I spotted your bike, for a high side crash it's got bugger all damage.
What are you planing to do with the bike?

It's a shame you can't get crash bungs for riders!!!

And here's the first thread that I started:


Does anyone know if the Coast to Coast ride still happens? It's run between Himatangi to Herbertville with a stop off in Woodville. It use to be in early December but I don't know if it still happens. Anybody?

It's coming up to my 4 year anniversary of KBer membership.:banana:

Hang on now, your all being stupid
Sorry to those of you who arent but i just noticed a few things and id thought i better set things right.

a) i had 1 accident off road at about 10K, into a tree - since then i have always worn a GOOD helmet. If u have a $20 head buy a $20 helmet

b) Those super funny looking bight leathers do a job, they make you get SEEN!!!
6 months ago, after completely fixing up my cafe' Racer single, i was takin out (i was doing 30K, he T'd me at about 20k) on my way into uni but someone who didnt SEE ME!!! I can no longer run anymore than about 100m without collapsing in pain cos i have a titanium rod holding my shattered tibia together. There is nothing they can do with my nerve damage though. So all of you who thinks its a bad idea can bite me

c) I dont care if they ride a scooter or a Harley - if you do more than about 5ks you need protective gear - cos when someone takes you out it doesn matter a fudge wot speed you were doing.
first impressions aye

Hi all. My partner in crime - stifarms - suggested I say hello :spudwave:
Even though I don't actually have a L plate yet, I do have half shares in the Honda....although he will debate this until the cows come home!!
Initially I thought it would be okay to just tag on the back, but after that beautiful day when he went on a noob run, I was sooooo jealous that we decided we had better work towards being a two bike family.
First things first - the licence, and then the "what bike". I am angling for a ducati or motoguzzi, but not sure what my chances are.....we'll see aye!
