New rider - what should I get?

If you want to be legal then try for an exemption and then ride a mid-range vtwin. They will quite likely exempt you on such a bike, considering your previous experience etc. Write them a letter and ask. There is all sorts of speculation on KB what they will an will not exempt you on, but theres no harm in asking.

YET AGAIN - you keep with the "quite likely" exempt you bullshit.

The rules have changed - I called LTNZ a while back and you will see that its ow pretty much the LAMS list bikes only. But even then they have pulled back considerably on giving out exemptions for reasons already posted several times. Use search.

Experience has NOTHING at all to do with it - its based on you being a danger / risk to yourself or other road users.

DB the rules have changed - stop banging the same drum.
