Yeah right....i'm having me a deep thinking moment and what to buy? Females biggest issue in life - What to Buy?

[Ixion]

why thank you. Have been in touch with a bike man and he's popping over on Saturday with a toy i may be interested in.

I'm sure you will be interested in his toy. Doesn't progress the matter of finding a bike, though.

lol...oh you are so amusing. I have a "toy" already. One really needs to be specific in what one write's around here.
male is bringing over a nice yellow motorcycle. yellow is my favourite colour. It is the bike his daughter (she's 18) has been riding. it is a Honda VTR (whatever that means).

Get a new Ninja 250 in the meantime. They're fine bikes.

Don't do it!!!!

[Genie]

Don't do it!!!!

whyever not? I have only 'sat' on one but it was comfortable, nice height, good seat and all that.

i am in the very early stages of looking. will most likely look at at least 20.....it's more important that choosing a husband you know. this decision will be with me for a year and will give me so much pleasure. i'm sponging up all the info circulating. have a couple of friends who are rather knowledgable about motorcycles. think i'm in good hands. lol

The Honda VTR that your mate is bringing over would make a great learner machine (just as long as it's mechanically sound), so to would the latest Ninja 250, that would be my pick if you have the coin to splash out on one, good resale on the Ninja too, friend of mine had one for 12 months and did 12,000km on it and only lost $1000 of the purchase price which is pretty good I thought.

those ninjas are over-rated!! and so expensive to fix when you crash. and i say WHEN because it WILL happen.

yes bike is very sound....he has been a bike man for as long as i have known him - he really knows his stuff. nice bike too. i do like the ninja and price wise it's not bad for a new one plus with new there's the warranty etc and the freebies one throws in as well

oh yes...i know it will happen. hey, i can crash a push bike!!!! i crash just walking too!!!! will be buying bestest protective gear i can too.

if that is you in your avatar.. you are not going to have any problem finding help on kiwibiker............

If you can ride... (I havent read the whole thread) then get anything thats gonna suit what you want to do on a bike. If you cant.. get a honda (no one cares if you throw them away) or a suzuki (your expected to throw those away)
Go for a few test rides.. but not too many. Youll just confuse yourself. VTR1000 are not bad bikes.. and you might enjoy the vibration of the V twin. The ER6 (F or N) are great bikes. Anything with a kwaka sticker on it is mint.

(my totally unbiased view voiced above. If you dont like it dont worry, its probably not the first or last time you have been wrong)

Hooligan bikes. They'll have you walking quicker than a quick thing. Best to get a nice, sedate GSXR...
