I've yet to test ride anything but am seriously interested in a Hyo GT650R. Mainly because the GT250R suits me so comfortably. Other possibles are GSX600, VFR800 and VTR1000. I'm looking forward to meeting the Manawatu crew and exploring some new roads.

No probs. Your Hornet sure looks nice but I'm pretty sure I'd like a fully faired bike.

[ital916]

My 2c. Don't get offended or anything but I have recently read posts have I not about noob traps and the unsafety glance and stuff. It's great that you have had an exemption my friend but if your still getting caught out by noob traps and having difficulty with techniques maybe it's wise to stay on your 250 a while yet. You have your full so no hurry, you can buy whenever. I'm no angel on my learners, I've learnt from mistakes the hard way, but learn to handle the 250 first then move up. You've only got 5thou k on it.

[mowgli]

That's quite possible and I've already had a quote. The delta is $3,500 on a spankers 2008 GT650R.

[HornetBoy]

No probs. Your Hornet sure looks nice but I'm pretty sure I'd like a fully faired bike.

yea does eh! ,thats why i am selling it ,believe it or not i prefer my 600 katana for the same reason,although the hornet goes a shit load faster :gob: and is a bloody awesome handling bike to ride ,i went straight from the 250 onto this!! but yea always did like the fully faired look

[ital916]

sigh...best of luck my friend, I recommend the zx-10r. Post pics of your new ride. If you don't mind me asking what was the exemption for?

No offence taken. I am very conscious of my learner status. I mitigate the risks with conservatism, deliberate training and regular reflection on my performance. In essence my brain is very much in control of the little boy in me. Common sense prevails.

My reasons for riding in the first place are a combination of recreation and an intent to do regular distance rides. A larger bike will provide for more comfortable touring and also provides room to grow and learn as a rider. Yes, there is wisdom in consolidating on the smaller bike but there is also a risk of cementing small bike habits in stone. Specifically, I'm referring to poor throttle control leading to a loss of traction whilst cornering.

Everyone learns differently. I choose to maintain a steep learning curve that provides focus and incentive to grow.

Hrm, it does look yummy.. But fully faired bikes are making me horneh at the moment.. and I'm not reeeeeeely ready to trade up yet - I feel the GT650R has more to teach me.

Many thanks tho. :cool:

I simply asked to advance to a full licence immediately.

I put it that the GDLS conditions didn't suit regular open road distance riding (which I planned to do lots of). I argued that with my clean record, experience in cages and deliberate approach to motorcycle training, that there would be no significant increased risk to me or other road users if the exemption was granted.

The exemption was a 1-shot chance to immediately do my full test (I was half way though learners at the time). Also the 70k limit was exempted for the purposes of the test. If I failed then I would have to complete the whole graduated scheme. My test had to be taken within three weeks. Through a stroke of luck I got it booked for the very next day. On the day the examiner stopped the test after 30mins citing that it would have been pointless to continue. My riding and situational awareness were sound and he issued the full.

Now I feel a sense of duty to prove that this exemption was justified by not #@$%ing up.

Just thought I'd add to mowgli's blurb about his bike... it is a good'un. Well looked after, it was always presented clean and tidy. If you are after a second-hand GT250R, this is an excellent bike... Cheers DJ

Yours is a nice bike but it needs some clothes.

[HornetBoy]

Yours is a nice bike but it needs some clothes.

i like em naked :msn-wink: llol,well you can always put some on it ie:belly pan ,screen,radiator shrouds ,they scrub up pretty good .

but the pipes are enough to compensate for that :devil2: and she is a very good buy at $7300 (ONO i might add)

[FilthyLuka]

Now 150bhp would be a step too far :nono:

but thats 150bhp with kawasaki's new traction control... so really its like 7 bhp :blank:

[Rev DJ]

[chazza404]

Hey Mowgli, is your bike still for sale? Cheers DJ

gl with the sale

[mowgli]

Hey Mowgli, is your bike still for sale? Cheers DJ

Yup, still for sale. Went out for a ride this arvo. Out around Kakariki and Cheltenham. Absolutely awesome.

Torn at the moment between getting another sport bike or an adventure/offroad bike to suit my other hobby - fly fishing. Maybe the answer is both :)

[mowgli]

I think I've found my perfect next ride - Suzuki SV650S. Not too big or too small.

To stimulate a sale I've dropped the price to $6k. C'mon folks buy my mint bike... please :)

[mowgli]

My bike is sold.
Cheers

[CookMySock]

I simply asked to advance to a full licence immediately.hrm, I asked for the same thing and they ignored me, and granted an exemption for the 650 instead - GDLS to remain in place. drat.


Now I feel a sense of duty to prove that this exemption was justified by not #@$%ing up.yes indeed. As I.
