Hi (Don)

[Don]

I have owned 2 dirt bikes. A KX 80 that was fantastic performance-wise and an average as TTR 125. I am looking at buying a sports bike so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to KB Don :2thumbsup

What licence/experience with road riding do you have? Ie are you looking for a bigger sports bike or a something smaller like a 250?

I started out on a GPX250, not the fastest 250 out there but got me from A->B

i can sell ya a VTR 250

I am on my learners *tear* the bike would mainly be used for driving around Hamilton and the surrounding areas. Possibly to Raglan when the weather suits as well. I wouldn't been that concerned with performance over 110 k's though. Just some nice take off

Oh sweet. I will have to see if I can get some cash together. Off to Thailand next month so a bit low on funds

ok, the bike is a 2007 VTR 250
40,000km

[Don]

Possibly a little pricey for me. How much are you asking for mate ?

how much do you want to spend???? how about a blinged hornet? dont think you will have the money so surprise me :-)

[Don]

Not looking at spending a whole lot. Between 1.5 and 2 grand I think would be enough

[Jerry74]

Get an old GSX or CBR good to learn on

[Don]

I really like the look of both of those bikes. I will have to compare prices etc
