Signing my own death warrant? (GeckoWebDesign)

[Skunk]

Kawasaki KL250 Sherpa (and there's a Yammy much the same) is a good trail looking bike for the short legged rider.

Listen to the wise old sages from above, they've nailed it for you, sit on lots, try a few, pick one that feels right and is checked out by a mech, ya cna't go wrong then.
Money spent on good gear is never wasted, so a cheaper bike and great gear.

Hey all,

Newbie poster and newbie biker. Okay I haven't got a bike yet but I'm thinking about it and just need some advice, encouragement etc.

I'm going to be a learner - good ole' [L] plates and all that.

I have a couple of dilemmas.

1) What's a good learners bike? - I like the look and reviews of the Kawasaki Ninja.
2) I will be travelling on gravel for some part of my journey home. Any advice on gravel travel? Is the above bike going to cope? Hell...shall I just sign my death notice now?

Any advice for this newb would be appreciated.

Cheers, Gecko

SPADA 250 --you will not go wrong--seems to handle about anything thrown at it including at times the road itself.
Gear wise Buy a NEW helmet that fits well. for the rest of ya gear good second hand stuff is a great way to save a bit of coin
