Hi all,
I ride a Blue Suzuki 2015 GN125H, just got my learners license on her.
I'm Super excited to get started riding on the roads around Canterbury, Any suggestions?

Welcome. The Akoroa road and the Port Hills are always fun. I'd keep as far away from the major routes. Grab a map and just Tiki tour around. Got any mates with motorcycles?
The three Gorges are right on your doorstep. The Akaroa and Port hill runs are fun and I've ridden them hundreds of times but on weekends there is a huge amount of traffic that can be dodgy at the best of times. Still ride them but keep your wits about you.
Nice choice of bike to learn on. Nimble. light, easy to pick up if you have a woopsie and parts are easy to get. I'd get the handle bars replaced if you find them too high. One with around a 1" to 2" rise suite them better giving you a slight forward lean. Better for your back.
Now is also the time to get to know how to do some simple basic maintenance tasks such as oil/fither changes, drive chain adjustment and if you are really keen tappet adjustments. GNs are sooo simple to work on. Pdfs of the workshop manual should be available online but there is nothing like having a paper copy next to you. Haynes or Clymer ones will be just the ticket.
The skills are transferable to bigger capacity multi cylinder motorcycles.
Stick to the quiet roads while you build your skills and confidence. Unfortunately many motorists are not sympathetic to learners.
