    Is this a good bike for a newbie?

    Ive been looking at bikes for a while, trying to learn as much as possible

    Is it a good bike for the price?
    I notice that one mirror is missing, are they expensive?
    Is 26,000km high for a bike?

    Cheers

    Looks ok but for $1500 more you could have this, basically new and also a good learners bike.

    If you are going to have it for a couple of years then $500-1000 is bugger all and might make the difference with reducing repairs etc done the road. That GPX will be like having a new bike.

    My GPX had done 20000+ kms now and no problems, still on original chain etc (I think I had replaced the GNs chain 3 times by that stage)

    Possibly it was dereg'd and then put back on the road, which might explain the dates. The only way to find out if that site shows that or not would be for someone who has regeg'd something to check out their info and see if it notes it or not.

    This tells me that it was imported in 2005, but was not sold for use on the road until 2007...
    Nothing dodgy about that.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
