Thanks but no thanks. Totally not what I want. I love the vtr250, and i love the monster even more. I will get a monster 400, as soon as lams comes in. maybe even sooner, and just not ride it on the road til its legal.
On a more fun note, wheeeeee.
I spent most of today playing pillion, after being very nervous because its been a long time, got on, and it all came back. I forgot how much I love corners. God I'm an egg today.
Yamaha SRX250. Just throwin it out there.
And. Once you have your full license, I'd recommend a SV650.
FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
Sat on a VTZ250 the other day, it was perfect. Quite small, and the CBF saturday night was almost perfect.
So we narrowed it down to a Honda at least?
Ooooh and, I sat my learners saturday morning, and paniced when I couldn't see properly out of my right eye! then lost vision in the same one partway through the test. Stupid incoming migraine. So that made the rest of the test a bit of a challange! I got two wrong, despite knowing the answer. Some idiot didn't double check the answer. Moron.
But I got it! and haven't ridden yet. Pillion totally doesn't count.
On the monster.... here in Aus they have the LAMs scheme and the 659 is LAMs approved.....
I assume that will come to NZ at some stage.... otherwise, enjoy the VTR. My mate had a ball and loved it over this bit of road:

I did see the 659, thats what got me looking at the 400. Smart me is thinking they had the 250 limit for a reason. Logical me is saying that many ozzies didn't die, and stupid me wants a 620 dark.
even stupider me got 2k in to debt for stupid things, and has 1300 left to go!
So, thanks to the lovely team at Motorad in town, I'm looking at a honda again. This time a Hornet. its not a VTR, which I have my smart heart set on. I sat on the ninja, and while its very pretty, I just don't love it. The honda, i loved. Straight away. Its light, I got right in to a comfortable position, and its in good nick. Gonna sweet talk them in to letting me take it out for a play some time soon.
God I hate working 6 day fricken weeks. So bloody sick of it! I want to go and test ride the hornet before i go insane!
But then I'll probably just buy it, and whine cos i'm broke...
I really do want a twin not an inline four... patience is a virtue midget...
I will. If i ever get a free effing saturday. My boss walks in this morning, hey i put you on the next ocuple of saturday. Nobody else will, so its left to me. Pissed is an understatement
So the likelihood of riding it before someone else buys it? NIL.
I dont want to play the devils advocate here,
I have a keeway super shadow, a copy of the yamaha virago.
having said that. you have looked at a ninja and a honda
so here is a three way test of them for you.
oh the seat height on the virago?, lowest on the market, 22"

To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.
