I need HELP re a bike I want to buy

[Ghost Lemur]

Which is exactly why I have been trying to keep Jess away from the likes of RGV's, CBR'RR's, etc. By the way she should be pushing Ant in to getting he's full licience and getting a 400. Ant's bandit would be a good bike for her to start on and within their budget Ant has come a long way with his riding but has not bothered to up-rate his licienceCould go on, but I've told Ant & Jess before. At the end of the day it's not my problem

WTF

His WIFE is telling him to get his full licence so he can buy a NEW bigger bike with her blessing and it's taken him more than 24 hours to do.

Drag his sorry arse to some KB rides so is can see just how lacking that bandit is and how much he'd love a ZXR400/etc.

CBR'RR's

I wouldn't worry about them, they're fairly tame, and only go 180kph

No she is not

And by the way CBR250RR's can reach 200KPM. Not what I would call "Tame"

my other half (Antallica) and Rider In Black have been desperately shooing me away from anything remotely ending in RR. I must keep it under the $3000 mark, my pocket isnt that big.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated; I like sport bikes and cruisers. Pretty is more of a factor than balls/performance rating - it can go like snot but look like a dog and i wont want to buy it. however some balls is important - if it could lightly kick a Bandit250s arse I would be most pleased.

Less is more on the fairings front, less for me to break when i inevitably drop it.

I use a little Bandit for work (and play when saving for a bigger toy... like I am now) and it hasnt let me down yet, be a good first ride and the honda hornet is another "quick" easy to ride bike with no brakeable plastic. Dont get anything too small as you will get board with it.

agree, I have always recommended the bandit250 to newbies (on enquiry)...so why not pool the resources buy new gear (good gear!) Jess and give some coin over to Ant to upgrade...go on, you know you want to ; )...
