Hi All,
Been reading this site and decided to post. You all seems pretty civilised and not judgemental.
Anyway, I havent ridden for 25 years, now I'm 50 I would like to buy a new bike.
Until recently I had a CF Moto "bike" an automatic 250 cruiser. Basically bike body & scooter motor, with 14hp. Still for 18months it got me around the suburbs of Sydney without much drama. Sold it to buy a manual bike.
OK, so here are my choices:
Lifan LF400, a copy of a Virago, here it costs around $5k new and looks OK. But its unknown, Lifan NZ seems to be active but I dont know if these bikes are popular over there. Any opinions on this bike ????
Hyosung gv250. I like the style, it has about 26hp, so more than what I had before, also $1k more than the Lifan. At least here the Hyos aren't rubbished like the Aussie forums.
The thing is I will not be doing highways, only looking at a town bike, mainly weekends. So a bigger bike is no use, I think the 250 should keep up with traffic and just hope its reliable.
Sorry for the long post.
Thanks for reading.
