Mmmmm.....yup. Wouldn't even be bones left.

Less than 130kg so it's very light and nimble.
37hp so it will do 160kph (for track days of course!)
Parts are cheap and widely available.
Simple engine so good to learn how to fix yourself.

Chickadee's is not for sale though as I like it too much and want to strip it down to race streetstock once she has passed her full and got a big bike. Will ask her tonight if you can have a test ride.

that would be cool just to give me a real idea on how they go... its bloody lighter than the FXR it weighs in at 150kgs... ...so thats where the speed went lol

Nearly twice the power too. I believe the GN250 and FXR150 both put out around 20hp is that right? 37hp is fairly useable. For example.

CBR250 45hp $5000
ZXR250 45hp $5000
VTR250 32hp $6000
Spada 250 43hp $3500
Bandit 250 39hp $4000
RGV250 60hp $6000
NSR250 60hp $6000
RS250 60hp $8000
RG150 37hp $1700
KR150 37hp $1700
FXR150 20hp $1500
GN250 20hp $1500
GT250R 29hp $6000
GSX250 30hp $5000

Rough as guts guestimate of current crop of Learner Legal bikes and average price for an average aged good condition example.

Indicative only - not an exact science but don't believe I'm too far off the mark.

kinda sick when you compare the FXR to the GN.
power to weight FXR is better but the GN puts out more Hp its doing about 22Hp but still i can gun the GN at the lights and the FXR is a sexy looking bike for what it is maybe we should take you bike shopping with me and lilsel when we go!

At 5'2" I'd go for an RG150.

Seconded, the RG150 did for the learners, what Viagra does for swingers.

yes quietly simmering away in the corner grr nasty GNs you know the rule never ridden one never will!

[avgas]

but still i can gun the GN at the lights

Depends who rides the GN
I scared a few, borrowing a GN125 from a friend once. GN250's aren't too shabby when you drop them at 4.
Its all relative.
I've had my ass kicked by a kid on a TR50 once - i was a bit mentally slow that day. I suffered from the dumb

Less than 130kg so it's very light and nimble.
39hp at the wheel so it will do 205kph (for track days of course!)

If you talk to the right 2-stroke mechanic.
Sadly my one is now working for KTM in germs.
Alas i will always miss the take off of that little bike.

[fireball]

ive been told to check out the GPX250 any ideas about one of them?

[discotex]

Far canal! Four-stroke single to two-stroke missile... ! Hell yeah!

It's not like a "it's my first bike what should I get?" thread. If it was me I'd get a ZXR250.. Oh wait....

The ZZR would be a great choice if you can bear to come over to the dark side. It'd be my first pick for a more comfortable ride with fairings. And it's a kwakka

Guess as usual it comes down to having fun test riding everything there is to test ride and find what suits. I can't wait to start that process when I get my full at the end of the year.
