Virgin poster here! Do I get a scooter, a 125, or a 250?

i would only use trademe if you could physically go and look at the bike first and get someone to test ride it if you dont want to yourself. i certainly wouldnt use tm to buy a bike in chch seein as i cant go and check it over....better to go to a dealership.

Welcome kochikaren!
speaking from my own experience, the GN 250 is a good start thats for sure. Altho if the 250 Virago had really been an option all those years ago I prob would have gone for that instead...both are good bikes and should both resale well when ya need a bit more grunt.
CBR 250 yep pretty good too if you like a more sports bike, but ya mentioned a cruiser so I'm guessing the GN or Virago would be right for you ...BUT DO go and try a few you may surprise yourself about what you like.

Cheers and happy riding!

I am new to this too and have just brought a GN 250 as a beginners bike and am having a blast! The trouble is that I went to "have a look" at some bikes but I am so impulsive and excited I brought one on the spot
