Hello all! (GN250 learner/commuter) (Bradles)

[Maha]

Used to stick to the limit comfortably and I had gotten it upto 130 kmh indicated on a flat road.

Thats about where mine tapped out also...was taking it to its new owner about an hour north of here and it took me all of the passing lane (just north of the Marsden roundabout ) to get passed a milk tanker.

...sometimes 'gleaning' those nuggets can be exasperating..

You don't split thru the southern in the morning, do you?

Went past a GN with an L plate yesterday morning, wasn't you was it?

[Bradles]

I don't split often at the moment and I haven't done it on the motorway proper yet so it's unlikely to be me.
I have a top box and a 'Wine Red' Helmet. I also usually wear bright pink glasses. If all those things come together then it's probably me.

Welcome Bradley,
GN's are much maligned, but have a proven track record for being a 'solid' learner bike. If you are in no rush to upgrade? then dont... you'll know when you are ready to. KB does have a wealth of knowledge among its members, however sometimes 'gleaning' those nuggets can be exasperating..
Enjoy!!

Cheers!

Yeah that's pretty much what I've picked up and I'm in no rush to upgrade. I'm planning on holding onto it for a few years at this stage. While that may raise a few gasps from what I've gathered they seem to be reliable and cheap to fuel up which translates to a low cost all round. Super important when you're not really earning

I have also spent time on the Mighty GN- got me to New Plymouth and back to welly in a foul winters storm. They just go and go and go...and cheap as chips to fill.

Enjoy!
