Delirium, Mstrs has put up his hand and offered to help you, he is a very experienced rider with 30 plus years on the roads. He is a mentor to HB riders and is my mentor, he has a 15 yo son who he has also mentored and assisted him in to making good decisions on his first bike purchase. You could do alot worse than Pming him to have a chat....

I hear the banjos playin in the background

Good Lord. They (Ulysses) have a whole forum on their site just for posting details of members' funerals!. How depressing, I didn't realise they were THAT old.

EDIT: And it's just about the most active forum!

delirium, you're 17, you may think you've learnt a lot about the road, and you want a super quick bike, sounds like a recipe for disaster, owning and crashing a fast car doesn't mean you've learnt anything about hazard detection if anything it means you've learnt very little, listen to mstrs and potentially save yourself a lot of pain, and money, when you took the cbr for a ride did you try doing some emergency stops or, turns? I found on my VFR the first time I rode it (similar riding position to the cbr) that it took a lot of getting used to the far more forward riding position and it took a lot of balls to just turn the thing hard, let alone being able to do it in an emergency

i was only on the cbr for about 2 minutes so no. but im organising a time where i can have a proper ride on it. also mstrs and i are organising a time where i can have a go on his sons vtr. i never said i want a super quick bike. infact i think im more interested in a bandit. but id like to ride one first and iv been making my way around the dealers in my area and i havent found one single 250 for sale. il be going to hastings tomorrow to have a look there and i bloody hope theres something.

it costs about $400 to ship a bike from here to there
so you could have mine for $3400 and you'd have everything you need to go, leathers helmet and all

[gamgee]

oh and before you buy anything, it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out the insurance cost, as for a 17 year old with a crash history, you'll be looking at around $1300-$1500 for full cover, and if you're financing the bike, i'm pretty sure you have to have full cover

[Delirium]

cheers for that i didnt think about that. i could be buying my mates helmet and jacket off him for cheap as he lost his licence lol.
