Honestly ... how many of you skipped the 250 stage and went for a 400 or bigger? :gob:

i started on a 250, and then went to a 500. couldnt afford both bikes, or the possible fines being caught on the 500, so sold it and returned to 250s.

well EJ you have been going down over the years. You had the 250 then 150 now 125....whats next? 50cc??? :scooter:

Well i bypass the 600cc stage from a 250 to a 900....dun think the 400 is that much different from a 250...

On a recent visit to one of the loacal bike shops, one of salesmen told me that id be wasting my time going from a 250 to a 400 or the likes of a GS500F (which they had on the floor at the time) and was trying to sell me a GSXR1000

I spent two weeks on a 250 and then went straight to a 650. It wasn't a particularly wise thing to do IMO. It was fun though.

So what's the licensing system in NZ. Seems very different to Aust.

Started on a 50cc suzi , slow ,slow, and always slow.
progressed to a 125 suzi, bit better......
Then foolishly bought a 380cc suzi tripple, damb center cylinder alway gave problems, but when it did go it was fun.
left bikes alone for a while...till...
I was given a 500cc Triumph Adventurer, after rideing it twice, rebuilt the motor and sold it. ( heap of oil dropping crap!)
Borrowed a Bonnie. never had a problem with it over the three years I had the use of it.
Got married
Bought my first new bikw, A 84 Harley Sportster 1100. Loved that bike, wish I still had it ....but.....
Wife decided to go play with another gear stick, end of the HD
Several years later got my XS1100 Yamaha.
I still have to get my Licence.
In the years that I have been riding I have only had two, yes two tickets for riding with the wrong class of Licence and ONE speeding ticket.
I started riding when I was 13, nearly 40 years ago.
But, and yes BUT, in todays enviroment on the roard, and the profiliation of TAX COLLECTORS, in their Gov provided Police cars, I think I need to get my licence......so
I am going to buy a 225 Yammy scorpio.
mmmmmmmm

Why bother with that 250 crap - 400 also doesnt show properly how big your winky is. ZX10 is what real men ride. Are you a real man malc0lm ?

It depends on what your reason is for skipping the 250 stage. If it's because you're poor and a 400cc bike in good condition is dirt cheap, go for it. But if you want "more power" then probably not a good idea.

Just started on a 650 Savage (got to love exemptions)
(but to be honest a 250 sportsbike would eat a savage)
