    My GPX 250r has seen me through before I got my BHS right to last week when I got my restricted, and it's 17 years older than your one!

    You'll be more than fine It is a great learners bike with a nice commuting seating position, the only thing I would suggest is a custom seat. The furtherest I've been on mine is South Auck --> Whangamata and while the bike had absolutely no troubles, my arse certainly did!

    If you drop it and scratch the fairings, well then all I can say is welcome to the club. *looks at the side of his bike*

    Have fun!

    If that's the case, I don't think I should buy another faired bike. I don't think I'm cut out for shiney, new vehicle ownership.
    Luckily I got a new set of fairings out of one of the little lie downs the bike has had. I've currently got the old 'race' fairings fitted, so I'm a bit less nervous about it getting dropped.

    Bits inherently get damaged when you drop any bike, faired or otherwise.
    By how much is a moot point and ownership of specific bikes based on "crashability" is kind of senseless.

    Confidence comes with familiarity and not getting too fixated on the materialism of ownership.

    Yeah I was pretty gutted at the time, but I'm glad they didn't give me the certificate on Saturday, I'd much rather know I have those skills down than save a little face and be a danger on the road
