Decisions, decisions, decisions..... which bike, and how, where and why?

NEVER,in the field of motorcycling,has so much rubbish,been written by so many,about one perfectly good little motorcycle!!!!!!,
and most of them have probably never ridden one anyway.
With intelligent riding ,a GN can be a great little bike.I am over 6ft,with extra long legs,and find it perfectly comfortable

And how many other bikes have you tried to compare it with?

I ask merely for informational purposes you understand - for example I've said before that the FXR150 is a great bike AS LONG AS YOU HAVEN'T TRIED ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE and I suspect the same is true of the GN. I haven't tried the GN but I've ridden with people that were on one.

Go the Bandit! Was looking at a ZXR250 before I had the opportunity to buy the bandit, got it for half the price of a ZXR, its 10 years younger, comfortable to ride, looks good, people think its a bigger bike (which is great when you come across know it alls) and its got more than enough grunt for a learner.Only downside is that parts seem to be rare as rocking horse shite! Go out looking at bikes and sit on a few, see how they feel. Do this in a bike shop, as many riders dont appreciate coming back to their ride to find some stranger on it! Highly recommend the Bandit tho, just my $3.75 worth.
