Hi All

Newbie Biker in Dunedin!
Getting my handling cert soon hopefully and then knocking into the licence.

Looking very keenly at older late 88-89's Kawasaki GPX 250's for my first bike at the moment. Since my budget is no more than about 3K they seem to be falling into this bracket easily

I read a couple of reviews about GPX/Ninja and apparently a very good learners bike. Very common for parts and cheap to fix. Perfect!

I see alot of 250 CBR Honda's in dunners, but way too expensive for me.

Love the look of em two, very hot in black/red
Im a student and already own a car, but want something fun and fast for summer!

I have a '88 GPX, it's great and I'm about to test how easy it is to find parts. :doh:

Any particular bugbears that exist with these?

Haven't so much as sat on one yet. Sounds like ill have to do a long journey to get one.

Whats wrong with yours?

Yay another dunedin rider!
Good like with the bike hunt!
I know lots of people say 2 strokes aren't good for learners and maybe they aren't but I learnt to ride on mine and Im not dead or crashed. I think its how you ride something.
I got my RGV for a little over 2g, so that might be good if you can find one (and are mechanically minded they have a habit of breaking down!)
