    Seriously though - the Magnas look bigger than many 250's but they are very low to the ground so you might still feel like you are on a toy.

    I'm about 5'10'' so it's fine for me. I just have to deal with all the chicks that try to ravish me at traffic lights!

    I bought a Hyosung GT250 naked version a few months ago for $6000+orc new. I'm 6'3" and 75kg and find it pretty dam quick. Plenty of power out of corners and doesnt matter where in the revs I am, just pulls me along sweet as.

    Wind isn't bad at speed, just need to tuck in a bit.

    I like the big tank, can go for AGES without filling up. I'm getting about 26km per litre at the mo. Riding like my nan for the most part.... ok the least part.

    *cough* What a load dude, sure buy a cbr250rr if you want a screaming little thing up ya arse! Those things are tiny. Go round and try various bikes dude. I agree with the Hyosung comets, they are great bikes for tall people, im 6' 5" and found the comet great but i didnt have the money so got a Suzuki Volty 250.

    Agree. And having the option to do a bit of off road riding to increase your skill level is a bonus too.
    Experience......something you get just after you needed it

    Let me tell you, that aint where it's been.

    The Hopoate "connection" is disturbing though so I am going to change it now.

    ...Maybe to "Don't Smell My Finger".
