    I'm looking for a 1994 VT250 Magna, I had one and had the baffles removed and it sounded and looked amazing.

    Open to suggestions on other bikes and yes only on Learners license.

    Cheers,

    Newbie.

    The Kymco Vennox is the same bike (made by Kymco).
    If you are thinking of s/hand I'd go as far as suggesting the wee Suzuki S40 (savage), 650cc single, probably no faster than the Magna, but a lot more grunt. I sometimes ride Vicki's to work etc, It's actually bloody good commuting, and has plenty of torque in and around traffic, will hold 100kph comfortably.

    Don't touch a S40(LS650) with a barge pole. They are shit bikes. Look okish if you like that style of bike but shit non the less. Dad had one and he's had been riding for a few decades and he even said they were shit..

    personal opinion... and with any bike at any time you can and will get a lemon... the Suzuki 650 single... should be as good as a single gets...
    cheers DD

    that's your opinion etc, as for 'looks ok, etc' not everyone in life wants, or rides, a penis extension.
    I've been riding a 'few' decades too, and do not hold the same opinion as your Dad, horses for courses!
