was just browsing the web and came across this site. looks very good with the 10 min iv have been browsing.

i do not have a bike at the moment i am looking at getting one for uni next year and saving now. i quite like honda cbr250s and yamaha fzr250s but they are like 5k with 40000km on them and no idea how they were treated. so i thinking of saving a bit more for a hyosung 250 gtr. and sum good safty gear.

any way just saying hi.

Hi Leigh,
Un(?)fortunately all new riders must get to grips with a 250, which naturally keeps the prices up for that range of bikes.
The Hyosung looks and sounds nice, but I wonder if they will last. 40,000kms is nothing on a Honda! Service history is important.

Welcome to the site!

Hi potty.

Try a GN (if the style is to your liking)... a good wee bike, great to start off on, cheap enough and a good resale market if/when you grow out of it.

Oh yeah - and welcome aboard!
