Having issues getting use to the super sports I've been 'test sitting' after riding the GSX they seem really small.

Im not after a superfast bike, something thats reliable, will get me to tauranga, or auckland easily from Hams. Any feedback or recomendations on other like bikes would be appreciated.

i test rode a gsx250 a 2002 she was....it certainly leaned well, although my 86 gpz400r was to me a much better bike but thats now dead.....the gsx cruises at 120+ pretty well, but i only weigh 55kg. i really liked it and it was luxury compared to my gn, i would definately recomend it as a starer/learner over the gn...

"knock on wood"

**WildBoarMouse** · 18th May 2006, 22:12

They're a good bike! A little tinny but a nice large bike to learn on. Glad your enjoying it!

Have you got pannier bags? Do you have the tool kit for the bike?

**andrea** · 19th May 2006, 21:41

nope I didn't get any bags or a tool kit, Ive been after the bike manual from
redbaron, but they keep saying that they have misplaced it.
Im thinking of getting of those cool looking carbon fibre backpacks, the ones that you store your laptop in it.

its my first bike and I love it, but hmm I feel the need for more power though, Im sitting my restricted in june and getting my fulls in three months, well I hope lol.
then Im after the kawasaki zx636r.

by or before the end of the year.

ive just bought one as well and it seems prices have increased for them

mines an 04 with 7500 on the clock and i paid 4800 for it. is in mint condition and came with packs and a rack (which was taken off the next day) and owners manual etc

i put 23 dollars in it the other day and have so far got 215 kms with no problems.

im relatively big, 6'1 90+ kgs and it suits me as its not small like the rest. if i wanted to go fast id buy a zx6r and let the cops chase me
