Wot enigma said. You need to look at what sort of riding you want to do then once you have identified the sort, then you can look at whats around in that category. Visit a few shops, look at bikes on the road and see what takes your fancy and suits your needs and wants. Only you know why you want a bike.Originally Posted by enigma51

definitly sport i like speed.Was looking at a hysong or CBR?
One, two free, floor!
Sports bikes from all 4 major brands (Kawa, Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda) are pretty much a much. You'll develop a preference for one or other... no worries. I'd happily own any of them that look, feel and perform to the standard I want.
The bike needs to fit you (sit on a few, ride them around - you'll know soon enough).
Hyosung's pretty good too - used to be the new kid on the block but they're proving to be good value.
Watch out for el cheapo Chinese stuff. It is cheap and it does break. Fun for a bit, but I highly recommend you buy a 2nd hand "main brand" over a new cheap cheerful chinese.
Hope that helps

Depends on the type of bike, and how it's ridden.
A small, high-revving bike like a GSXR250, f'rinstance, could be pretty much clapped out after 40,000km, whereas a BMW or Honda sports-tourer or touring bike that's done a lot of highway miles could last for several hundred thousand kilometres. Despite being gay (very very gay, apparently) Hondas are generally very reliable, but even still, one that's been thrashed to within an inch of its life could be knackered at a low mileage.
The thing is to check for signs of ill-treatment (bruises, frown lines, a shifty look, worried eyes, that sort of thing), and cheap fixes after crashing (dyed hair, Warehouse clothes, some makeup slapped on to cover the scars, etc.) Stay clear of cheap sluts like that.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

Ohh, a bike slagging thread!
A bike with "gsxr" on the side will normally reside in a ditch next to a corner that the rider couldn't take, or break in half.
Seriously. They are all OK. The Honda gets slagged off because they are boringly reliable, so you can ride more and repair less.

I owned a Hyosung GT250 Comet (naked) which is the same engine, frame, basically the same bike as the GT250R. They are not a bad bike for a learning machine but since the release of the new Kawasaki Ninja 250 there is no comparison. The styling, the power, the build quality even the price for a new one is better!! See for your self:

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

in my unenlightened opinion Hondas ARE Gay, Hyosungs are cheap, unreliable and gay.Not heard many good coments about Hyosungs.Have you done any rider training( I assume you have courses in NZ like our ''Stay -Upright'' etc?
Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
Hmmm, the CBR looks fit - I would ride that if I could.
