Sure as hell looks nice, but i still wouldn't want to learn on a GN

**Dropped** · 15th February 2010, 09:59

haha no one said anything about riding it.

I know it was just something i felt like adding, but yeah it's definately nice, improves on the GN frame and gives it a bit more class in my opinion.

If my opinion, GN's are the best learner bike made.
Also, this one does look cool !!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA $5.5K for a GN250.

On a serious note, I learnt to ride on a GN250. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

'Just about everthing on this bike (except the Motor and Trans) has been modified'

Dont overlook this very valid point.
The motor and gearbox are still factory.
So it still a GN250, albeit a very cool looking GN.

I hear they are the best, but it doesn't mean i'd want to

If you wanted a Harley (hell they are slow anyway) this would be the perfect bike as you could pose all you liked

looks alright, but not 5.5k worth or alright >_>

**avgas** · 16th February 2010, 12:47

nice - and well worth the 5.5K........especially when compared to the Korean and Japanese equiv.

While I share your sentiment somewhat, that will be an ideal learner bike for some lady rider who just wants to ride around town on. All it needs is a nice leather jacket and pants, and a retro helmet, and it will be quite the image.

Well, they are completely different in purpose and image. The hyos (for example) are perfectly capable open tourers, but they have a different image and feel than something like the bike in question.
