    Hi (Don)

    I have owned 2 dirt bikes. A KX 80 that was fantastic performance-wise and an average as TTR 125. I am looking at buying a sports bike so any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Welcome to KB Don

    What licence/experience with road riding do you have? Ie are you looking for a bigger sports bike or a something smaller like a 250?

    I started out on a GPX250, not the fastest 250 out there but got me from A->B

    I am on my learners *tear* the bike would mainly be used for driving around Hamilton and the surrounding areas. Possibly to Raglan when the weather suits as well. I wouldn't been that concerned with performance over 110 k's though. Just some nice take off
