ow red :shit:

I know some like the colour red but it really isn't my kind of colour :shifty:

I am trying to decide which bike I should get for my first bike. (just came across the CBR 125 by chance, it looks pretty neat though you can't beat the value of the Scorpio!). It will mainly be used for commuting between work/uni/home in welly city and no highway is involved.

I had a look at a dark red one the other day and it looked sweet.
If I was looking for a learner's bike I wouldn't hesitate.

red and blue, but if ya want to spend a few dollars with a spray painter then you could have one any colour you like.

I think blue is 2007 colours, lucky for me the time I got it, both were available, so I got a blue with the wheels from the red!

Even in red their not a bad looking learners bike... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Other/auction-167335842.htm
And the black/silver graphics help. Like mentioned above though - if its not your colour then any panel shop with a good rep should be able to sort it out for you - its not like there is a lot to paint :)

They do look nice.
not bad price for a brand new bike too.
Are they classed as a learners bike?

The original Scorpios were Blue but the new model is Red. We still have one of the Blue ones left.

Yes they are classed as a learners bike. They are a good bike to learn on, for a good price.

Any bike 250cc or less can be classed as a learners bike. However, some come more highly recommended than others by those who have done their learning on them... the Scorpio is one such bike... its well recognised as a great bike to learn on

The Scorpio fits my budget quite nicely. But I am now tempted to get the CBR150 because it looks nicer :Punk:

The Lifan 200 isn't a bad looking bike-and at 3500 with a 12 month warranty.....

$3,999 + on road costs ;)
Excellent learner's bike and a superb commuting bike too. Has no worries getting my not so delicate frame up to open road speed limits either.
