Looking for nice learner type bike such as fxr150

Bonjour!

Thought I'd try a fairly specific thread title as I'm near positive its the model I want (Suzuki FXR150). I quite like the sporty looks although i prefer fully-faired bikes but beggers can't be choosers haha. It ain't too powerful but I don't really mind, just want a nice-ish looking bike which will get me cheaply from A to B and will allow me to squeeze through traffic! So, if anyone is selling one in the Auckland region, drop us a line.

And just to open up my options, if you have any other 250 cc or lower bike (as I'm on my learners, although i maybe applying for a higher CC exemption shortly as I'm fairly tall and it would allow me a bigger -and maybe cheaper - bike suited for my height) drop me a line too. I quite like the look of bandits, gsxr's, cbr's, ya know, anything not ancient looking lol.

P.S I got like $2700 MAX for the bike (I've got my gear sorted)

I wouldnt bother with anything less then a 250. Even with a 250, its not like the bike is that grunty that it would scare anyone. Real linear power with no sudden torque. It shouldnt take you long to get over the power of a 250.

There's a nice 1999 V-tech 250 Bandit for sale on this forum. Perfect bike for you!

Too expensive for me haha.

Oh, btw, yeah I'm still interested in cruiser bikes (not my kind of looks imo) but a bike is still a bike i guess.. so yeah, you sellign a gn250 or anything like that, drop us a line too!
