Newbie looking for first bike

[rabbid]

nice ride, btw. Enjoy and keep the rubber side down and whatnot.

Giz a turn on your missus.

uhh thanks..
A helmet is not an accessory - you are correct - my bad..

Thanks to everyone who looked at the thread and replied. I have bought a brand new Honda CBR300R (non-ABS who needs it!) in red and white fairings. Looking forward to when i receive delivery tomorrow and take it for a spin!!
Accessories i bought were a SHOEI Helmet (3 stripes), Some Textile Gloves and also a hard shell backpack.

Congrats Rabbid. The CBR300R is a great first bike, and with Honda quality and service you'll definitely have your piece of mind.

I'd advise you look into a textile jacket next. All weather, fully amoured, removable thermal lining. Sure to find some good deals now that summer's approaching.

Anyway, stay safe and enjoy!

Definitely Cyclethreads in Takapuna. I got my boots and helmet from them. Only thing is they don't stock Astars. Otherwise I'd get everything from them. PM me for more info.

Also look at MCG in Henderson. Actually an online store and you're sure to get a good deal. Cyclespot has some good deals every now and then. Same with Motomail.

Heard great things about 1Tonne. Gear seems more than decent and prices are great. Will be looking into getting some stuff myself.

I'd recommend not to skimp on this part. You only get one body after all. And you won't go wrong with any of the big names like Astars, Revit, Berik, Dianese, etc. Also dririder for textile, all weather gear.

how was the bike?
im thinking about getting the 2015 version

[Akzle]

non-ABS who needs it!

probably the same demograph who buys a cbr300 without test riding it.

Hyosung Gt250R are good first bikes, especially with an aftermarket exhaust, Demon or something. They are actually one of the faster 250s around, have to be to be competition to the CB250
