if you read the rules for lams bikes, once a bike has been altered it is no longer lams approved.
if you are learning to ride then get a bike that is un altered.
i know people who have traveled auckland to invercargil on a GN but not a bobber

Yeah IKR thats what got me wanting it, its from a dealer ship aswell so maybe i can trust that its not poorly built? on the GZ the speed goes only up to 80 but on the GN it goes to 160Originally Posted by Boob Johnson
Ive also got another option which is the hyosung 250 http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...1187721063.htm

I wouldn't touch an 8yr old Hyosung, nor would I touch that Megeli thing (never heard of it). Stick to reliable Jap bikes.
GZ250 to just 80km/h??? That doesn't seem right
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Thats 80 MPH, not KPH. Big difference.
L-Plate Rider
first clip is US 75MPH,
2nd vid is Europe 120KPH.
75MPH = 120KPH.
basically the same mate

Sorry im a bit confused lol, not really a car guy or a bike guy, so both bikes only can get up to 80? im talking about the speed limit in NZ like how motorway is 100, id need one that can stay at 100 for 10-15mins as ill be driving to work through the motorwayfirst clip is US 75MPH,
2nd vid is Europe 120KPH.
75MPH = 120KPH.
basically the same mate
L-Plate Rider
both will do 75MPH, miles per hour.
so here it is KPH and 75 miles per hour is 120Kilometers per hour as shown in the 2nd video.
in short you can be pulled over on either of them just fine

i am near the point of giving up here!
the bike racing traffic on the US highway was travelling at 75mph, the cars on the highway were travelling faster than him because they were doing more than 75mph.
you will be travelling around Auckland where the legal limit is 100Kph, the bike you are thinking of purchasing is capable of a speed in excess of this number namely 120 kph, so you will be able to travel and the prescribed limit in your daily journey, if however for some reason a bloke in robes and carrying a staff is seen on the Harbour bridge and the roads suddenly open up like the parting of the seas and everyone goes full retard and the revenue collectors are on a day off then you will struggle to keep up beyond the magic number of 120 on your speedo
there is also the unknown here too. we dont know if you are build like a racing ferret or a samoan prop forward?
if the 250 you have seen is to your liking, buy it mate, it wont set the world alight but it will get you where you need to go with out impeding traffic in the city and you can have a hoot on it on the weekends around the hills and you wont look like a rejected power ranger while doing it.

Ah i see and just wondering why ill get pulled over on both ? the GZ and the GNi am near the point of giving up here!

If you read the thing properly, you'll see that 250cc bikes are all lams, with a few specific exceptions.
Basically, if it's not an excluded 250, do what ya like as long as it's not structural or more than 15% power increase. Same as it used to be.

? speeding. when you did/do your pot luck questions one of them will ask you how fast you are allowed to go? (highway, it's 100kph, dont tell anyone i told you) the bike you may purchase can do 120kph, thats a bigger number than the 100kph previously mentioned, this tends to draw the attention of the local stealth taxation officers and they will want your money.
if it were me with the funds you have i would buy a basic no frills reliable wee machine (unmolested GN or GZ would be good)for as little as possible and spend the majority of the money on a good helmet and gear, if you are commuting a lot i would say its better to have a good helmet, proper CE jacket, trousers, boots and gloves. your bike could well be moved on the next learner in a year but good gear will last you a lot longer
whatever you go for, enjoy mate.

Ah i see, i might go for the "unmolested" gz250 2011 then as it looks bigger than the GN http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...?id=1183376357? speeding. when you did/do your pot luck questions one of them will ask you how fast you are allowed to go?
