New guy wants some advice

[Young&Stupid]

+1 for the RG150. I used to have one, is a great learner bike, and you can pick it up resonably cheap. Most will already have "learner scars" so not to worry

Mine has the "learner scars" but shes still a great bike! Nothing a bit of plastic welding doesn't fix! Go the RG!!

RG150 is damn easy to repair - all you need is some superglue and a hammer (hammer for the metal bits and superglue for the plastic bits)

I was in your same position 6 months ago - bought a GN 250 - great for me, mainly commuting

From what ive heard the GN 250 is just that, commuting. I havent achually had one myself but ive heard that they are really boring. my FXR has the same power as the GN. My brother has a ZXR that he loves so I would recomend that.

Hey Paul N...

You gave me some advice way back in 2007...to go and Pete at WLG MC, that was for a 250cc bike back then. Well i didn't then but I've just purchased a Buell XB12SS off him. Gotta say Pete's a great guy, very helpful and most importantly knows how to make a deal easy... Had my first ride on it last night...albeit a windy night so didn't go to far... loving it!!! can't wait for the weekend!
