One year waiting...

[chef]

Your only mistake was buying the Hyobag over the awesome CBR250rr, ZXR250, RGV250, NSR250, Aprilia RS250 (or125). These bikes are as good as it gets for road riding. My old mc22 is still my favourite bike to date.

id say all those bikes are to small for me im 6'3 and 110kg, how hard is it to maintain a 2 smoker?

Not hard depending on your mechanical skills, the main factor to consider is what type of riding you do. 2 strokes are great but have their place and for me thats a track.

Age and condition of bike also major concerns aswell
Someone your size may not like 'out of powerband' torque, I'm 70kg and it frustrates me at times if I'm too high in the gears.

hyosung only has 5 gears from memory,around 30hp or less and weighs a bit.
FZR,ZXR,CBR & GSXR (earlier models) are 45hp, 2 smokers usually 50-70hp but cost more to buy and require more servicing gas and oil.

My 88 FZR250 is almost up to 7,000kms and rides like a new bike, except of course a new 250 is restricted in power - also depreciation is minimal

cbr's etc are pretty small to ive seen a few ahhh only way is getting a 600cc and take the risk of geting tickets

[Sidewinder]

anything i can do to cut down the time from restricted to full like how cagers do defensive driving courses etc...1 year is pretty bollocks

um its 18months not one year dude lol. and yea defensive driving course but that only cuts it down to one year

[Sidewinder]

Ride a bigger bike uninsured and don't get caught or fall off.

now that so doesn't sound like you hitcher, ya been hanging around me too long lol

Just sit on your ass. Time will fly

Just sit on your ass. Time will fly

exactly, time flew so much for me it took over 2 years before i felt ready for an upgrade. The bike should match your riding skills, newbie = slow bike = less crashes (in theory )

Man....im glad I sat mine 25 years ago

Then it was
Provisional - no minimum period, use to learn to ride, no compulsory course required

Restricted - 6 months waiting OR do advanced course with MOT (only MOT provided it at that time - I did it too)

IF course completed at MOT training school, pass directly to Full

I had my FULL license at 15 years, 3 weeks and 2 days old, and yes I did have to do all 3
P/R/F
(No test to go full, just present certificate from MOT at local MOT office)

Those were thae days when motorcyclists were dying like flies though so new system showin in the stats as our crashes are lessening

I am similar, 6.' and 98kgs and the ZXR was perfect for me. CBR was a bit small though, that is why I went with the ZXR in the end, and I was glad I did. However if I was smaller, a CBR250rr would have been the pick.

There are some motorcycle riding course which can help offset your waiting time, I think you have a be a "OLD timer" Like me tho....EJT sat one and it worked for him

I'm pretty sure that we gotta do the standard DD course that they do for car drivers - I don't think an advanced motorcyle riding course takes time off getting your full.

Ride a bigger bike uninsured and don't get caught or fall off.

of all after you have the fall or simpley don't fall off nd fuck up our ACC levies any more than they are

just do the time you have a lot more learning to go yet
