FXR vs GN

[Squiggles]

For a rela n00b, a GN250 is an excellent starting machine. They are very tough, even unwitting misuse or abuse will probably not break them. And if they do break they are cheap as chips to fix. And can be fixed by semi trained people. The village "fixit" man.

They were designed to be a simple, reliable transport machine, that could cope with almost anything in the way of roads, carry sizable loads, and keep going despite untrained (or no) maintainance.

all so true


about the bars as mentioned before, i've got two gn's, different designed gn's.... the old style one doesnt seem to have the same cramped feeling that i sometimes feel on the newer one, the bars dont seem to come back into you as much, and when side to side, the angle of the headstock seems different, its more comfy to ride

The RG150 is fun BUT if you are gonna ride about 100kms a day you might be better off getting a 250. I havent ridden a GN but a good mate of mine had one and I think its a great commuter BUT i wouldnt buy one *hiding*....but thats because I dont think they have the speed to get out of trouble *hiding again*

Now i have completed using the GN for four days in both ok and bad weather I wouldn't recommend it for longer commutes ... and agree with Elle .. was interesting .. but would look for one with slightly more guts in it.
