if you are buying a lams sportsbike none of them are good options.

buy a hyosung aqulia or some shit, at least they look like they are supposed to go slow.

+1 to lams sportsbikes being poo. What's the point of a 40bhp gsxr600? Might as well buy a minter CBR250 and learn to ride it properly, then buy a real 600.

Or just learn to ride your hyodung properly

I'm stuck on my R for the next 13 months but to be honest with you, I don't see the rush to jump on a 600. Shit, I've been riding a year now and I can't use even 1/6th of what the Hornet can do.

Unless you've been riding awhile illegally or you're the next Stoner, there won't be much difference between the hyobag and a 600 (restricted or otherwise). Aside from your ability to potentially crash anyway

Wait till you get your full then get a GSXR750 or Daytona 675.

**aderino4** · 1st February 2013, 19:57

lol, none of the bikes on the list will be in the LAMS list anytime soon.

Unless they go with the UK BHP rule in which case you can put restrictor on even your Hayabusa to make it learner legal.

^ This seems to be a common recommendation. At least test ride them when you get your full

Yeah, honestly, if you don't have your full, none of the legal sportsbikes will be any good compared to the ones you've listed.

But, you can still have tons of fun on a little cbr/zxr/fzr etc 250cc, and you'll learn heaps while doing it - I've still got about 12 months on my R left but with that, I'm very aware of just how much I need to learn before I go up to my future 600

Agreed. Be careful of the cheap ones, they can be a headache - trust me on this.

You could trying making friends with other learners. 250s like minimotos are best enjoyed in groups, and there's a whole heap of enjoyment to be had there

Then wait until you get your full licence before you buy a race replica bike. The 600's are seriously fast & not intended for learner riders ! Look for something in the higher capacity that is on the LAMS list instead. Husky TE511,TE449. Kawa ER650, KLR 650. Or a motard style machine that fits you & modify it to suit.

I chose the gixxer of those simply because it "fitted" me the best. When I test rode it, it was like clamping on a body suit. The search ended at that moment.
