Well I went and test rode some bikes today. Before I set out over the hill, I had a red GT250 in my head as the bike I would probably buy at the end of the day. (Mainly cause I liked the look, and it was red!) .Test rode a GT250 first (a nice one was at WMCC too), it was nice, kept slipping off the seat though, boy were they polished!!! I liked it... I cant even list the many reasons it is so different to a GN. Cant compare, there is no way I could go from a GN to a 600cc or 1000cc bike that I had been planning to do.
Anyway next was a GSF 250 Bandit. The revving scared the life out of me, but I was told not to worry, revving is totally normal, and no the bike wont blow up! So away I went, just up and down the street at first. Wow.. did a whole street in 2nd gear.. unheard of in a GN. Then I took it on the motorway... heehee that was so fun. If you have ever riden a GN as your first bike, you will understand my excitment!! Very noisy bike, will have to wear ear plugs all the time, someone suggested I even get rid of the baffle so its noiser...!!
Anyway I pick up the bandit on Thur or Friday.. prob Friday. Cant wait!! I still have heaps to learn.. and cant wait to start learning.
Thanks for the help Seany
