    They Do fucken rock tho.

    Ok, depends what stage of 'learner' ya mean. Very first bike? TZR wouldnt be anywhere near the top half of what Id suggest they get.

    Learner licence but has lots of experience? Yeah, great bikes the TZR's. but costly to run, and can still give you a damn big 'surprise' which can cause crashes.

    Who the fuck recommends a TZR for someone as their first ever bike?

    People used to commute and learn on 250 two stokes, the power curve is not exactly ideal but at <50bhp its not exactly a widow maker either. Probably a bigger fright to be had jumping from a 250 twin 4 stroke to a 600. Only problem is spares.
    I love the smell of twin V16's in the morning..

    i started on a suzuki ax-100, a wee 2 stroke, then upgraded to an old tzr250. I'd say they're a good bike if you've got someone with mechanical experience around, otherwise they can end up getting expensive. it was a really great bike though, i dropped it a couple times and had to do a bit of repair work on the fairing, but it got me where i needed to go and was suprisingly cheap on fuel. i've got an in line four now, which is fine, but i do miss that powerband

    Ive never owned a Honda. Tried a coupla mates XR's and a CR or 2 as a youngster tho - they were ok.

    The one Hondaa I did like as a youngster was the CB250RS - but I ended up on a GS400 instead....first bike.

    The only Hondaa's I have any time for at the moment are the two (new for 2011) single cylinder 250's, and the RS 125/250's. The rest can kiss my crack.

    You think the brand name on UJM´s makes that much difference?

    Different strokes for different folks

    And really at the end of the day - who gives a flying fuck about what anyone else reckons about their bike.

    Most Honda riders have earned their thick skinned approach. :P
