Hey all,
Just joined the foums. I don't have a bike yet but have always wanted a Honda CBR250RR so am seriously thinking of finally getting one. Have also been looking at a Yamaha FZR250R. Has anyone got any recommendations for a learner? I have been riding for a very long time and the only riding I have done was when I was on the farm when I was younger. I did look at the Hyosungs but the front of them look too much like a scooter for me.

Nice, I might have to wait until October to buy a bike then.

Just looking at that list does that mean that the CBR250 will not be a LAM?

The RR might not be, not sure though. But if you get one now you may be able to get an exemption for it when LAMS comes out.

I asked in the club 250s and I got this reply "all 250's will be allowed except the 2 stroke race replica's" so sounds good to me.

Every 250cc bike with the exception of the ones stated above the approved bikes list are allowed, so yes, the FZR/ZXR/GSX-R/CBR are all allowed.

Welcome to the site, enjoy.
