Hello all (mattmacaskill)

Well, ive finally done it, im now going to post on the forum

After a chinwag on the KB chatroom ive decided to introduce myself.
Ive been a member since July last year, and since ive moved up to auckland and live in a 2X2 metre room i read the KB forums daily. But since i didnt have a bike, i didnt see the reason in posting.
I am saving up to buy a bike, being a student im a _little_ poor. I'm hoping by june i can have my learners

I am currently studying Computer Science at Auckland university, hoping to go onto robotics or something along those lines.
Anyway enough about me. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Matt

I cant decide. I would prefer a sports bike, although there are some nice cruisers, i suppose a gn250 would be a good start off bike, cheap and reliable.
I'm open to any suggestions

Y'just made as good a suggestion as you'll get. If you're on a tight budget and want transport not penile assurance, a GN250 is hard to go past. Though having said that a couple of lads picked up two rather nice 125cc machines (GP125 two smoker and GS125 4 stroke) for under $1000 apiece just the other day. Those 125s can be a barrel of fun, and put oily rags to shame .
