Which 1st bike?

[MidnightMike]

which one do you guys think I should get (ease of use and considering that I havent driven a bike or a bicycle before)? Dont really if I will be comfortable with the sports ride style, but them being a learner its the same across all of them
Obviously the sports model has the looks coz it has more plastic. Also sports model has dual disc ...or something which makes it $1000 dearer.
Help please

I say go for the naked bike, it will cost you less when you drop it, and you will.
Also you can use that 1k on some gear to save yourself if you bail off.
You may wanna get some riding lessons too, maybe if your lucky one of the kb guys might teach you, more than likely for a few beers

PS, JamesHD if you wanna sell your bike soon give me a pm ( Private Message )

Having ridden a few 250's I am still an avid fan of the cbrr250 (that's why i own one ) 91. It is has less compression than the gsxr and the fzr so its less inclined to compression lock, it feels like you are far more "one" with the bike instead of having some forks, the rest and then you comprising 3 parts.
Sitting low in the seat is nice, you don't slide backwards.

And failing that on friday i was giving a gsxr 750 and a brand new r6 a licking up and down the coromandel!!!! lol, so they still have the goods to be a great sleeper :P

zxr250........haven't tried one of them.......... i want a positon at kawasaki shortly so GO THE KAWASAKI too!!!! lol (just incase anyone important is reading)

All the best, don't buy anything naked or upright. just go fast.

P.S: Don't teach people to ride on your own bike, they crash it bastards! So read my other post and help me out!!!!!!

[QUOTE=Fish]If I was coming in on a learner license right now, I'd buy one of the brand-new GN250s for $2995 in the Suzuki dealers at the moment. Can't go wrong with one of those and it'll be pretty reliable with only basic maintenance.

Why bother with a new one? I got my 25,000k's 1986 model off trade-me for $615. I've spent more than that on riding gear.

I had to reg and wof it so it has cost me about a grand all up but if I gave it a clean and polish I could put it on trade-me and get about $1200 for it.
