If you can find one...
Yamaha SRV250
It has the little V twin from the 250 virago but it is simple, reliable (by all acounts) really nice looking and is a twin. MUCH easier to learn on than a 250cc 4 pot screamer...
Cheers
Yeah, go for it!
Nah, it is too gutless/stupid
Mabye, try it out first
Shut up!

I wish! I just put that on there when I first signed up.Originally Posted by tuscan
Thanks for the advice everybody. I found out that a teacher at my school has an FXR150, me and my mate drooled over it at lunch, along with a bike I forgot it's name, but had 'Hurricane' written on it.
After admiring it, it seemed to be the right size for me, and I have become more and more attracted to it as I look. Is there any way to take the fairing off for practicing? And I think that for the present time, it's power should be enough (double the learners max speed, plenty) A minor setback though, and it may be close to a year before I have enough dough for all the gear and bike, from what I have heard, I don't want to go riding without proper protection (we learnt that in sex ed as well, if you catch my drift )
Thanks once again,
Nick
PS I want to see the movie you mentioned, Che and Bikes! Awesome, a recipie that can't go wrong
Hey Indy what happened?? and are you ok?Originally Posted by Indiana_Jones
All that has been said is excellent advice.... from what i have heard an FXR seems to be a good choice.... I have an RG150 and the pluses it has over the FXR is power acceleration and top speed...... Yes im not going to say im a nana this time, but i can have my RG up with the 600's and 1000's and infront of them too....
The FXR has 20hp (i think) where the RG has 32 hp, SpankMe has had an FXR upto 152kmh, ive had my RG upto 195kmh with a 110/90 rear tyre and 180 with a 100/80 tyre just to give you an indication of the difference of performance...
the pluses for the FXR is that it has less fairings, is a 4 stroke and doesnt need a new cylinder after 30000kms, and has a smooth delivery of power, where the RG150 has a disticntive powerband...
Ive been riding the RG150 for over 8 months now, and am still having a good time on it, yes i know im being stupid and buying a 600 soon, but i have been considered a fast and safe (i think) rider hence the bigger bike....

Not really. But then, I wouldn't bother. Take the mirrors off if you're worried about dropping it. Won't matter if the fairing accumulates a few wee scratches, but exploded mirrors are a nuisance to replace at $110 a pop.Originally Posted by madcat_

The "Hurricane" is a late 80s/early 90s FZR250 I think?Originally Posted by madcat_

I suggest don't buy a flash bike just for you learners cause your likely to get bored of its power quickly. Buy a bike that'll last you for your first years, just something cheap, and the money left over will go towards your upgrade, and some gear. Every one says buy good gear, listen to them.
Nice bike Daniel
You do know you are meant to put bikes you HAVE, not that I can speak.
And I will get good gear; I am giving myself a thousand buck allowance to spend on cloths and crap.
And Posh Tourer, i think you are right, was he Daniel?
