BHS in a couple of weeks

[Danae]

Yay, In a couple of weeks I'll have enough money to sit my BHS! I'm gonna do the extra training beforehand as well just in case. Anyways, wouldn't mind having a quick go on someone's 250 before then. :eek:

My Dad's gonna sit it as well. XD

[Slyer]

You can ride the GN or mine if it's going.

[Ragingrob]

The hour and half of training beforehand should be easily more than enough, you've already got balance sorted enough from scootermobiling!

[macros87]

ohhh where are you gona do it? my friend knows of a place where you can maybe do it on your own scooter, which might help you feel more comfortable doing the test? want me to ask him about it? do you have your eye on any one bike for when you can ride one?

[Danae]

I'd rather sit the test on a bike, scooters are too easy. For my first bike my aunt is trying to influence me to get a Ninja, but I probably can't save up enough even for the cheapest ones on tradme no matter how much I want one.
Will probably get a GN, there are heaps of those for sale right now.
I'll probs end up just having a go on the GN at the fixits. >D

[Slyer]

Save the money first before deciding. ;)
We'll all start looking for good deals once you have the moolah

[motorbyclist]

not a GN!


my friend knows of a place where you can maybe do it on your own scooter, which might help you feel more comfortable doing the test?

doing it on a scooter without any gears would largely defeat the purpose of the test....

[Slyer]

Who cares?

[motorbyclist]

everyone who thinks new zealand drivers would benefit from some actual training, anyone who thinks that a test to prove that you can operate a machine should actually be on the machine you are to be licenced to operate, and anyone who agrees with being allowed to ride a scooter on a car licence but needing a bike licence for anything over 2.2KW

(machine being a MANUAL motorcycle, vastly different from a 50cc scooter)

[Qkchk]

The BHS test can be sat on a automatic scooter - however what makes the difference is the 'scooter' must be classed as a 'motorcycle' (hence needing a class 6). So anything manual or auto over the 2kW / 50cc mark up to 250cc is suitable to sit the BHS test on.

People get confused over the term 'scooter'. I would rather call a 50cc and below a 'moped'.

But why cheat yourself on a auto?

I'm definitely sitting it on a manual machine, gotta get used to the gears.

Do you think we should force 125cc scooter riders to do the test on a motorcycle? The test is about safety, being able to corner and use the brakes. Manual or Automatic doesn't matter.
Jafa has a point.

[Danae]

There's a choice right? I say if you plan to ride a scooter then go ahead and do the test on a scooter...all about personal preference. I'd feel more confident about riding a 250 if I took the test on a motorcycle. :2thumbsup

[motorbyclist]

In this case where where a person is sitting their BHS to get a licence with the express purpose of riding a motorcycle, to sit their BHS on an automatic scooter would defeat the purpose of the test itself.


So I can sit my full on my Hayabusa?


well it would prove you can handle one, although the current system is that you must prove you can handle a less powerful yet essestially the same machine.

ie, no you can't cause you're proing you can handle the 250 powah before jumping straight onto the hyabusa. good luck when you do though.

and that's not what i'm arguing - i'm arguing that you shouldn't be allowed to sit your BHS on a machine that does half the handling for you. the full licence test is a completely different kettle of fish - i'd suggest you go sit it some time:msn-wink:

exactly


Do you think we should force 125cc scooter riders to do the test on a motorcycle? The test is about safety, being able to corner and use the brakes. Manual or Automatic doesn't matter.
Jafa has a point.

i don't agree with the car licence permitting scooter riding at all! In a slightly better system there would be a mandatory BHS course with a test at the end for car drivers too.

i think if your licence allows you to ride a motorcycle, and 99.99% of those on the market today are manual, then you should prove competence in riding a manual.

the test is about having the basic skills to operate/handle your machine, as the name implies.
basic handling of the clutch/gears is included in that, as they are an integral part of motorcycle handling, especially when in corners and when braking.

yes, jafa has a point in that the full licence test doesn't prove you can handle more than 40hp, but that doesn't mean we should let the basic test be equally useless. furthermore, the full test is to prove you can operate a road while on a bike, not the bike itself bike - and i'd suggest he keep quiet unless we want a japanese style licence system

the current system is pretty inadequate:

on a car licence, you can operate a moped up to 2.2KW without any proof that you are fit to do so, besides the fact you made it out of your driveway and passed a scratchy test with no specalist questions relevant to two wheeled transport. sure you learn quick, but somemany people are retards and we end up paying the bills

just because you tell teh testing officer that you only plan to ride scooters, does not mean (from his POV) that it is going to be the case for the next 80 years

if there IS a choice, it is a classic example of why NZ has such poor driving standards.

[macros87]

muuuummyyy dddaaadddyyy plz stop arguing! macros will be good from now on! i promise! now that that awkward bits out of the way, at the time when i suggested this as i thought it may be more convenient for her, i in no way would recommend this to everyone, otherwise i would have to every noob upgrading from a scooter to a bike here on kb! (and theres a few of them, i read them for nostalgia) but i see that regardless of what she passed her bhs on she would go on to practice and master whatever she wound up riding, she seems like a sensible girl and up till now seems to have the right attitude towards learning. dont think this requires and inquiry into the NZ licensing system at least not THIS aspect of it anyway, since them letting you do it in your own vehicle (more specifically moped or scooter) is kinda rare as far as im aware

[Danae]

Hopefully Darwin will take care of those who can't operate a scooter on a car licence.

edit: Lol @ macros! And thanks!

[Danae]

Omg! Since in a week or so it's Anzac day, there aren't any courses, so my Dad said he'll help pay for me to go this Saturday! Eeeee! I have to pay him back of course lol but anyway, soon I'll have my learners and I can start saving up for a 250! :eek:

[Slyer]

*Fangirl scream!*

[Danae]

Pretty much!!!! Lol my Dad is real nervous as he's never been on a motorcycle before. He's been on a scooter and is pro in a manual car so he should be sweet as.

[Phurrball]

FXR FTW!

My corpulent carcass passed a GN going up the big hill into Laingholm, so FXR WIIIIIIINNNNNSSSSS!

Either an FXR of GN is an ideal learner though. You'll outgrow either machine before you reach your full though - but (IMHO) an FXR is a more capable machine (as long as it doesn't have OEM tyres!)

(I still have a ball on ours, except it needs MOAR POWER and more revs before the limiter so I don't rape it to death...:whistle:)

though tbh you have to be pretty clueless to fail at scootering... unfortunately a great many car drivers are clueless enough for typical scooter attire to be an issue...

*casts mind back to the the couple we saw on a scooter in newmarket; girl driving in tank top/miniskirt with open face, and guy pillion with a sweatshirt wrapped around his head*

Just a tangent here, I never learnt to drive a manual car until I had been licenced to drive one for over 3 years... similar situation to getting class 6 on a larger scooter then wanting to change to larger manual bike later on.
At least it's consistent between class 1/6 rules?

really? ive had a few friends who have bought fxrs, and they have all bought them in between 15 and 18 hundred and have been great very decent bikes, (havent been fucked or had any great cosmetic damage) so 3 grand for a fxr surprises me... sepcially considering i got my zxr for the 3 ish mark.. but i was freaging lucky

The market has changed. Especially with the bucket guys buying up all the not-so-tidy ones, which makes even a munted one worth more

[Real_Wolf]

yeah, there were 2? i think 2 fxr's on there about a month ago, sittnig at aroudn those prices, but they skyrocketed or disappeared for the buy now very quickly.

Most of the fxr's you see on there are about the same price as a slightly busted but still decent 250cc bike. 2-3 grand really. No longer a case of 'buy one, get one free for parts', though there is a nice looking nsr that would seem to fit that description (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=213230647)

[motorbyclist]

it's a several hour course that ends with the test, and she started at 10:15 so might only be finishing now

[PirateJafa]

She has passed. :niceone:

[Danae]

Yup! Passed, done, finito! My Dad got me subway after, I was starving. I got a point for stalling the thing! When I came in to stop after finishing an exercise to wait for the next guy to take his turn, I stalled it. Still got a mark. These guys were a bit more strict than others I've heard of but that's kind of a good thing. Now for the scratch n win!

[Ragingrob]

:woohoo:

10char

[Real_Wolf]

yay.

Yah, i lost a point for turning off my indicator too late. At least I indicated unlike most drivers

[Danae]

My Dad lost 3 points for that. o___o Yeah, better to indicate and leave it on than to not indicate at all.

Now I'm waiting for my dad to finish reading the road code...

[motorbyclist]

unless you leave the left on and have someone pull out infront of you (despite you plainly not turning left)

[Danae]

Ah yip. -facepalm- Indicating too early is also a problem...

[Phurrball]

Well done D!

Stalling happens sometimes. Ya get to the stage where you laugh at your own gumbiness (while hitting the starter and moving off in one fluid action to avoid further embarrassment)

Must've been something in the air about 2 days ago. I stalled at the lights, self-mocked, and at the next lights had a fella on a GSXR750 do the same in front of me. (A kick start bike would suck though...:buggerd:)


unless you leave the left on and have someone pull out infront of you (despite you plainly not turning left)

What Andrew said about indicators is true though. I wouldn't be surprised if it'd caused the odd very serious/fatal accident.

Get in the habit of hitting the cancel button a few times after every turn just to make sure.

[Danae]

Mmm we were on GN125's, they had old style indicator controls where you shift it back to the middle as opposed to clicking the button in so it was hard to tell if the indicator was off. Ah there's an FXR on Trademe in good condition (I think) for 2,200. Just has fairing damage. :eek: But I don't have any money. XD

[Real_Wolf]

get a "laptop" from studylink

:D

theres a couple of nice looking fxr's around the 2-3grand mark atm

yeah i also did my bhs on a gn 125 with the shitiest breaks and retarded indicator switch! he forgave me when i indicated then trying to turn it off indicated the other way instead... fxr looks like a suitable bike, and at that price its apparently a good deal!

[Hanne]

Mmm we were on GN125's, they had old style indicator controls where you shift it back to the middle as opposed to clicking the button in

I think our GN has that control too? Or maybe the one that blew up did... going back and forth between them (or GN/ ZZR) meant you really had to double check and have the brain your thumb awake.

Congrats on passing BHS!

[gavjn]

excuse my ignorance... wats a "bucket" bike

[Slyer]

The condition of bucket is irrelevant as it is a bucket of shit.
Buckets are usually bikes barely held together with hot glue and parts coming from many different bikes. :bleh:

[gavjn]

ahhh i c... thnx lol

[Real_Wolf]

take, for example, my xs250. Its what a bucket will end up being should it stop having constant work done on it

[motorbyclist]

now now, a bucket can be machanically sound: it just has to look, sound and feel like it's about to break down and possibly even snap in two as a result of either the rusting chassis or the dodgy welds trying to repair it.

oil squirts, blue/black smoke (preferably from anywhere BUT the muffler), misfires, backfires and a strong smell of something burning are all desirable features:niceone:

think about what you want, cbr's are very nice, but one thats in good nick and not trashed is gonna cost you a fair bit.

Add to that the fact that being an IL4 maintenance will be alot harder than that of a v-twin or a single cylinder, you have to ask yourself do you really want all that extra horsepower.

That being said, if your bike only rev's to 11k then its not nearly as awesome

Don't be sorry, I'm all good and so is the bike. Gentle mocking is the SMC way... Moar scratches on muffler = closer to justifying the end can I can't afford. OEM mufflers make excellent crash protectors AS they're built like that Russian tank TRIKE.

CBR250s are the high water mark of IL4 250 sportbikes. I doubt we'll see their like made again, as they're nearly as expensive to produce as a 600. HP is moot in any 250, what any small bike has in spades is light weight awesomeness.


That being said, if your bike only rev's to 11k then its not nearly as awesome

Different strokes. IMHO I far prefer the power delivery of our VTR250 to my old Bandit 250. Easier to ride (except the shitty Honda gearbox), lower down torque, more engine character. Twin for the WIIIINNNNN!:scooter:

[Real_Wolf]

:D

The CBR250RR i believe is the fastest of the IL4's, only beaten by those 250 2-strokes, and for a 250 it is fairly light (especially in comparison with the 600's), but you'll be hard pressed to find one that isn't rooted because of their reputation as the fastest of the IL4's.

I find my accross to have a fairly smooth power output, has a fair bit of torque but it doesn't have much of a top end (14k-16k you get no real acceleration, seems to peak at 14k revs)

[shingo]

If things go well for me, my CBR should be up for sale in a month or so.

Can't go too badly wrong with an RGV. Just make sure you don't mind getting your hands dirty or know someone who does. And I suspect that would not be your father. In fact, could be a good point. Tell him the only thing you can afford is a 2 stroke and if he doesn't want one of those floating around he should buy you a VTR250 like this one...

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-216451477.htm

Of course, if you really want a 2 stroke and would like to start out closer to where Rossi and Stoner did, you could get this:

Yup that's his. I remember the signature on the top of the screen.

[aewilliam]

If Danae is one for copius joy-filled use of throttle, I would strongly suggest NOT test-riding a 2stroke unless you know you ARE gonna get one :devil2:

After test-riding an RGV, re-test-riding the GPX/GSX/VTR/Hornet/CBR felt like going back to my 50cc. (In fact, i think my 50cc was quicker off the lights than the GSX...)

I honestly could'nt see myself putting up with a 4T ever again, and the allure for ringadingdingding and berry-scented 2T oil was too much - temptation was rapidly fallen to.

Be VERY careful... :niceone:

\On the face of it, about 200000 km ! But the first two apparent windbacks are almost certainly data entry errors. Still comes to about 100000 km. High for a two smoker, but if it's been well maintained , maybe not an issue. Not much goes wrong with them. I'd be somewhat suspicious of the "running rich on one cylinder" theory.

HA, my gsx is fine off the lights, of course its an IL4 thats not a gsxr

[gavjn]

mines a gsx250... speaking of which... is going up for sale as soon as i decide to get my ass in2 gear and chuck it on trademe. so if any1s keen on a grey 2004 gsx250, let me kno!

lol theyre not shit. i said 'shit' in relation to the power, which after a 600 is sweet FA... but still... not a shit bike

[Real_Wolf]

your gsx a twin?

Mine has like no top end, power is peaking at like 11-12 even though it revs to 16, the rest of it is just so that when you change gear you've still got maximum power

Hahaha weird, you have to get to 9000+ plus before the GPX goes anywhere. :D

This is probably why the Across is quite economical compared to the other IL4's.

yeah, its got alot more low down power than the gsxr though, which makes it very nice for commuting

Clearly you do not wish to partake in "sports communting" then.

elaborate?

[PirateJafa]

elaborate?
Sports-communting:

Take the distance of your commute in kilometres. (In my case, ~25km)

For every kilometre, you are allowed one minute to commute it. (So 25 minutes for me)

For every minute under the "par" for your course, you get 20 points.

For every wheelie on the way, you get 20 points.

For every stoppie, you get 30 points.

For every time you lanesplit at more than 1.5 times at local speed limit, you get 30 points.

For every powerslide you get 10 points.

For every pedestrian mown down, 20 points if they get up, or 40 points if you nailed 'em right.

40 points for running from the rozzers, and 80 points if you escape whilst still on one wheel.

100 points if someone posts up a thread on KB bitching about the biker with the numberplate 12ABC and they're referring to YOU.

Who said commuting had to be boring?

[Phurrball]

Hahaha weird, you have to get to 9000+ plus before the GPX goes anywhere. :D

This is probably why the Across is quite economical compared to the other IL4's.

The Across was 'running' VERY economically from the University to the Shell on Beach Rd :rofl:;)

It seemed to be doing quite well up the spaghetti racetrack after that though!:eek:

Now I do have a minor problem though, seems my speedo cable has come off, or something, not sure (happened tonight).

Basically I have no speedometer, and my odometer does not tick over. My rev counter still works, and the 1:10 ratio of revs - km/h mean I can tell my speed if I"m in sixth

stop tempting fate and do that oil change! lube everything! if the cables have been neglected enough to so far all fail, how do you think the engine is looking?

No speedo? Sweet clock up the k's without them ticking over on the dial! Just go the flow of the traffic like the roadcode says haha safety in numbers!

nah, its just a cable loose. I knew it was that last night but couldn't see it, but your right I really do need to change that oil

[Magua]

I can help you with that this week if you're not busy with uni. Where on the shore are you?

Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, petrol and alcohol.

Fundamental to [student?] biking.

*PROPER* bikes have no coolant (other than that which a benovolent Almighty provides in abundance) ; nor brake fluid.And engine oil and fuel are the same thing. Which leave sonly alcohol as the indispensable necessity for all bikers, noit just students.

Has your kawasaki stopped rattling?

[shingo]

Explanation?

The old VT250's were said to have fairly weak cranks and cams, and an appetite for cam chains/tensioners. The quality improved when they started producing the Spada's.

Basically if you want a Honda twin, you have two choices. A new VTR250, or a Spada.

[Phurrball]

Riiiiiggghhht back in the day, when I was first learning, Ingrid and I spent some time looking at a VTZ.

The gent selling it was a very honest type and would not let us buy it until it was all sorted...

Long story short, that bike was very troubled, and even though we were keen, the sale didn't happen. I can't speak for the model in general (This one looks tidier) but the bike we looked at ended up with the nickname "The VTZ of doom" They are more highly strung than the VTR that followed them.

We ended up with a Bandit. The Bandit was great, but in hindsight, hard to learn on being a revvy IL4 [In laingholm!] and relatively greedy. I only realised this after we got Ingrid's FXR.

If you're looking for an economical, bullet proof bike that is easy to learn on - you can't beat an FXR as a very first bike. Really.

Sure, there's more glamourous rides. You will likely outgrow it. [B]BUT - you won't loose any money, so after 6 months or whatever, sell and upgrade to a 250.

A VTR OTOH, you wouldn't outgrow in your L and R, but it isn't quite as easy to ride or economical as an FXR.

Don't. Rush. Into. Anything.

You can ride our FXR and VTR if you like (Though the FXR doesn't have current insurance)

[Squiggles]

The old VT250's were said to have fairly weak cranks and cams, and an appetite for cam chains/tensioners. The quality improved when they started producing the Spada's.

Not to mention the pretty inadequate brakes and suspenders

[macros87]

Has your kawasaki stopped rattling?

dude mine never rattled, sweetest sounding zxr ever cant find fault with it, that one was our friend Chris bike and yeah a 90 dollar tensioner later it no longer rattles.


They are more highly strung than the VTR that followed them.




didn't know that, perhaps it isn't the best choice in that case but thats why we have the forum and all you guys around, to tell us not to buy shit you know we shouldn't when we don't know any better :)





Don't. Rush. Into. Anything.

First I have to clean it up, replace the mirror and fix the various broken plastics lololol.

My dad would be reluctant to let me get course-related costs for it. >: So I can only assume he'd lend me the rest. :rolleyes:

[HungusMaximist]

Reasonable 250s are so fucken expensive and probably aldready knows this.

That's just the way the market is.

If you can afford it, go for it. As a good 250 like a VTR or Hornet will last you quite a while.

Postie Bikes "CT110" are pretty awesome too. Also keep your eye out on older style bikes.

Good luck! You're gonna be for in for rollercoaster ride! Like they say, once you're in, you don't wanna go back!
