Newbie that can't decide

srx250 is worth $1500 for a good one, fxr's are ugly, and you'll realise this once you see one in the flesh, they are just so narrow and pathetic looking

Yeah I've seen a few driving around and saw one up close last week, it isn't exactly a looker but I only planed on keeping it for 6 - 8 months.

These would be among the better learner bikes and they are good enough to not get boring......

I would personally look at getting something like an RG150 (2stroke) or a Kawasaki ZZR250, Honda CBR250 etc...... The RG150cc is a great bike, and contrary to all the bad rep that 2 strokes get these are extremely reliable and cheap to run as long as they are well maintaned.

I would say that you would possibly get very bored of a GN or FXR VERY quickly, and there are bikes around just as easy to ride that will provide you with alot more entertainment down the track...........

Anyways all the best with what you do buy and ride safe!
