Hey mynameis...

I have a GPX 250 and i can assure you that my GPX could smoke your ZXR

I spent the extra $1000 that i saved from buying the GPX instead of the ZXR and spent it on engine development.

and suspension.

I know what bike i would rather have

Ehehehe just pulling your leg fella !! Relax just that you know, it's not all about the machine it's about the rider as well but lets not get there.

Gpx is a better LEARNER bike than the zxr becuase even though its 250 a zxr is still very fast. A gpx isnt slow either.

wasn't referring to the skill of the rider.. rider skill will almost always count more than horsepower figures (in that 250cc range especially)

Hi,
well I started on a 1988 GPX 250 having never ridden more than a mountain bike and thought it was perfect to learn on. Enough power to overtake/have fun but pretty contained really. My first week I took it to the South Island and rode Dunedin-Picton in a day comfortably enough.

Weaknesses, a bit soft at the back - not too bad though
- didn't really cruise at 110, the bike seemed to want to go 95 but chugged along well enough

I would recommend to anyone starting.

[gamgee]

my bike cruises easily enough at 110 (+ )

[The Big J]

I got my bike up to 140 and could have gone faster had I wanted to.
It definitely went 110 and that's what I cruised at.
I just mean it felt like it wasn't designed for it. Did the job well enough, was sluggish if I had a big backpack on...

my GPX got to 175km/h (on the speedo), was trying to keep up with a 285km/h ZX-14 on a back road <-- very long straight, no driveways, or traffic (pretty much a closed road)

My first bike was a '90 GPX that had done 80 odd thousand Kms. I only paid $900 for it and was the best purchase ever. Certainly did more than 140 and once you got used to the "soft rear" was pretty sticky on the corners.
Paying almost nothing for a first bike meant I had no reservations on seeing how far you could take it. If I dropped, it who cared, it was only $900.
I learn't many things on that bike, my first lesson was never to fixate on an object 'cause you WILL hit it and the last was never assume a car has seen you as they approach an intersection. Sadly my first bike is now in the scrap heap.
I firmly believe that a first bike should be practical, you're learning a new skill and you don't want to be worrying about dropping it while you're doing so. Save you're money for the bike you really want to ride when you've got you're full license.
