Well I can finally post here now (club 250) as I have jus got me a set of wheels too....a 1989GPX....reading the comments here I feel that I may have made a good move...though sporty bikes have never really been my thing...

GPX doesn't have to be sporty if you don't want it to be, the seating position is very commuter friendly, you can sit completely upright if you feel like it!
The old ones are just as good as the new ones, mine isn't missing a beat right now!

if you do want to be sporty on the gpx however, you can sit your arse right under that corner that separates the rider and the pillion seats so that it changes your angle to make you crouch forward heaps but u gotta hold on tight because u will slide back if u pin the throttle.

Well after much research, thought and debate I purchased a brand new gpx250R today (2 days after getting my full license) . Couldn't help myself, wanted to bring the 80s back and to be able to do it for so little money . Anyway my Verseys and the gravel will have to wait until March next year when I get the 650 twin , my bro gets his learners (and the gpx) and I get full time employment . Like Linuxrunner when I first looked at bikes a year ago I never thought about a sports type bike but here I am buying another 250 a year on.

GPX is such an upgrade on the GN. Less noise and wind, way more comfort over the bumps and passing power . Will make a great commuter, after I've run it in of course. Loving it already .
