I've been a cyclist for a long time, always wanted a motorcycle but never got around to it. Turned 25 few months ago, and I've been thinking about it for a while and decided to give it a go.
I'm in Wellington, I weigh about 165-70 pounds, 5'8.
Obviously I'll be needing a learner's bike for at least a year.
And I'm not sure what course I should take.
I thought about getting a GN125 until full license and switching over.
I also thought about getting Ninja 250 or something similar and keeping it for a few more years. Before upgrading to something sport around 650cc.
I would like the bicycle for mainly joyriding, and commute maybe once in a while, and joyriding with a passenger to the bays or something. (The passenger is 135-140 pounds and will go down or so she claims).
From the light reading I've been doing, GN125 might not be enough for joyriding with my girlfriend. If this is true, I will have to change to something bigger as soon as I get F license. But i'm not sure if I'll be ready for a 650cc sport(or not) bike after a year with GN125.
What do you think is the best course of action?
