    Welcome Bend it. You should come on the TCWNR. Its a good ride with good people. See ya on the black top dude. Oh and if you want the 411 on 250 Bandits ask Wasp, he's got a really nice one.

    Woses!! Thanks for the welcome!! This forum actually is buzzing!! I've been to forums where you get 2 messages a week if you're lucky, haha!! You all must, like me, not have enough work to do!

    Yup, will probably come for TCWNR, should get an exit pass from the Mrs since she was happy enough to drive me out to W'nae to pick the bike up.

    Riding scooters fast> It's a 50cc! Top speed of 70km/h going DOWN the gorge, with a tail-wind! By the way, anyone wants a 50cc scooter? 1997, 15,000kms (estimated). It actually says 7862 (I think) kms on the clock, but the speedo hasn't been going for awhile, so... No need for WOF, just rego > $80/yr

    You can ride an fxr150 fast even though it only dose 130ish km/hr

    I completely agree. The best 250 is one with two wheels and an engine. As long as it makes you grin, there ain't nothing wrong with it.

    For the best 250cc, dont buy anything ppl say is dodgy and get it checked out by a mechanic. If you dont have much money, buy a slow bike! (which will feel fast as hell to a newb anyhow :P )

    Other than that, its all down to whats on the market. Ive never really "Chosen"
    a bike per se, just had a general idea of what I wanted and followed as above.
