    Another newbie (xww10)

    Hey all, just want to share a bit of news. I'm a twenty something mechanical engineering grad out of Canterbury. Graduated in Dec last year but have been having trouble finding work so far. Anyways, have always been into bikes ever since I got my Honda C50 two years ago. Thanks to all the K'bers who helped me get it running like a sewing machine btw.

    Having thought about it for a while now I finally stopped procrastinating and got my L licence today! So, the C50 will be on Trademe soon and I will start to look for a new bike. I don't have a lot of money but I quite like the Honda CM200T on Trademe right now for $1800. What do you all think about it? Cheers!

    Yeah, I noticed that. Is there a more common Honda model that shares the same bits? I quite like this one too but may just be out of my price range.

    Thanks guys! I was talking to a friend who's an experienced rider and he reckons I should start on a dual purpose bike with a spare set of road tyres. That way I get to learn a bit of bike control in the dirt as well as have a half decent commuter bike. That sounds like a good tip to me. Anyways, here is my beloved C50 for sale.
