Firstly...
A) A GN250 is a right of passage
B) If you didn't learn on a GN250 you aren't really a "kiwi biker" (true story!!!)
C) You can park anywhere, just don't be "THAT GUY" that takes an entire car park ffs!
D) I park on the line in between car parks (with nose pointing towards the road) so I don't actually take a park
E) Katman is, apparently, still a bit of a dick.
F) Welcome to Kiwibiker!

Yes to the parking. No to the bobber. (But yes to a GN 250 to learn on ... just not one that's been 'minimised'.)

As to the Bobber style.....who gives a monkeys on my opinion or anyone else's on that??? You want other peoples opinion on what YOU find attractive? Really??? Get a grip man! If you like the look of a Bobber style'd GN then go for it! Personally I think they can look pretty cool but who gives a hoot what anyone thinks! You can't argue that blue is better than red!!!

https://postimg.org/image/5nmb6dbn7/ This is the bobber gn250 that i was going to get tomorrow, ive only got 3k to spend on a bike lol. Do you know if the gn250 2006 can sit comfortably going 100 on the motorway ? or can the GZ250 do it?
Theres another bike its called Megelli 250RR 2013 for 2.5k only 7000KMS but the reviews on it are so bad

Presuming you have paid for the car park WTF not?
Bobbers are cool. Do it.

The GN and GZ are essentially the same bike with different styling. Both are capable of doing 100 kmh but neither are at ease doing it. As in, you don,t want to go touring on. But great learners bikes and left std should be easy to move on when you want to upgrade.

What RPM does the bike go up to at 100?

The issues with Bobbers is they are often badly done and not really street legal. And they are uncomfortable to ride. If you want to ride for more than an hour dont bother.
Standard GN will be fine.
Buy something like this and spend the rest on good gear. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...1187694249.htm

Only if some knob hipster has dictated form over function. I'd encourage anyone to modify their ride to suit their personal needs/style - a simple change of bars can make a world of difference to comfort.

Mate get that Bobber, looks awesome! Forget random BS brands, believe the hype, they are terrible. Jap bikes are rock solid! The GZ is the same motor so very very reliable! $3k is more than enough to get a reliable bike.

Because you don't really know for sure what has been compromised by another person's mods. Bobbers are generally about taking stuff off the bike so you finish up with less bike than what rolled out of the factory and it's just for the sake of appearance. Do that bobber thing later if you want but while you're learning, best to do it on a bike that is still what the engineers created rather than what someone did in the backyard just to make it look 'better'.
