Hi all newbie here :) GN250 or Scorpio 225

Rate this Entry
Hi all I'm new to this so here i go . I just did my basic handling skills test and my theory is booked in for tomorrow .I'm looking at these two bikes http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-605292190.htm

http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-607761376.htm

I'm about 6.1ft tall weigh about 110kg. I an use to driving farm bikes (DR200). I rode the yamaha scorpio for my basic handling test and found it a pretty nice little bike ,easy to Handel, light and still had a little up and go

I'm trying to make my mind up between the two and yes I know there are better bikes out there but they aren't as cheap. I live 50km up taihape rd so anything I get has to be able to keep up with traffic on the open road .

Any advice on witch one to get would be great thanks .

    Hey there!

    Given your size I would go for something more like -

    If you find the right one you can get it for around the same price as what you're already looking at, and would be much more comfortable

    Hey jeff thanks for the comment do these bikes pop up very often ??as I want to get mobile ASAP . Do you think the GN and Scorpio would be to small for me to do the 50km trip on ?
