I am a noob and thinking to buy a bike.
Honestly I am not a rich guy who can afford to buy a GT250R or a GPX250.
Im only 17 years old who would like to get on two wheels rather on four.
I am looking towards a Yamaha Scorpio Z or a used Suzuki FXR150.
And my other option is the Lifan LF125 motorbike which looks quite cool but not well known.
So what do you guys think? what bike should i go for?
Price range is around 3000 to 4000 max.
Please help
Deep in the heart...
Go for the scorpio z, great bikes to learn on and good value.
Don't bother with the Lifan crap.

FXR or if you can afford it RG.
What is the Scorpio worth?

Stick to the Yamaha I would not feel safe riding a Lifan...funny maybe it's just ME..
i have been using a Yamaha XT225 to get my bigboys license for the past eight years a great machine......

Lifan is crap? oh ok lol
Scorpi costs around 3750's. Varies +-100 depends on the dealer.
Some dealer also PAYS for the on road cost.
Im thinking to buy one from Red Baron in Auckland.
P.S. I don't want to buy a two stroke one
P.P.S I HATE GN250. I test rode them once but down shifting and low speed riding is HARD AS. I test rode a FXR150 later that day and FXR was PERFECT. No fuss downshifting,PERFECT low speed riding etc
I think i will go for FXR, because it is designed for "Sport Touring".
What do you guys think about that?
is never afraid...
Don't forget to factor in the cost of gear. When I was looking Red Baron had a deal for basic gear for $500 when you buy a second hand 250, not sure if thats still going?
Since your on a budget go for low-cost gear all over and upgrade when you can or if you REALLY want to ride in jeans at least get some knee and shin armor that velcros around you legs underneath the trousers. I picked some for $30 from Cycletreads.

Hello n00b... welcome to the n00b-farm... the FXR as a first bike on a low budget is probably your best move...

I mean RG150 sorry. Yes it's a two stroke, and is a lot of fun. RGV150 is shit. Alternatively if you want, you can get a FXR150, which is a 4 stroke.
БЛИН!
What in the world is wrong with you?!?

Because.... i heard that for two storke, i must mix two oils... errr... i cant be bothered doing that...
Mt Eden Motorcycle dealers suggested me to not get a two storke for a beginners bike. since i know nothing about bikes, i decided to trust this man.
First 3 alphabets are my initials, and the rest is Korean lol It means "Idiot" lo

No. You don't have to mix shit. You put the petrol in the tank, and the oil goes in the oil reservoir, under the seat (On the RG150 anyway). It mixes itself. Almost all bikes that you will encounter these days are 'self-mixing'.
I'd get a two stroke, simply because two strokes go way harder than four strokes of similar displacements
