    so what next? I am only thinking of a 250cc tho
    being 5'2 and all of 50kg if im lucky i need a nimble bike im going to have fun on
    the ho GT250r ive found are too big and ZZR and ZXR dont quite feel right and you will not catch me riding a bloody honda so CBR are out of the question
    any suggestions for this fussy rider?
    what about an rg150?

    EDIT:
    yeah, what mc Jim said

    I'm sure my missus would let you/FB try her RG150 for size. Very nimble, quick and oodles of street cred for taming a 2 smoker. We're near you if you're interested in having a look.

    Oh... Im happy with me kwaka at the mo... Still a few months till I can sit my full licence... Im not looking for a 2 smoker, when time to upgrade comes im looking more along the lines of a new 6R... *drool*...

    Fireball is looking to upgrade from FXR to ?!?!??!... something...
    Im still browsing and learning about features/pro's/con's of diff 600's.
    As I plan to keep the 600 forever and ever and ever... and then everyone lived happily ever after
    (something like that anways hehe)

    Thanks for the offer tho McJim very kind of ya

    how long till your full, you might wanna hold out and get a bigger bike for the same price as a 250

    yeah what he said

    everybody likes giving them shite but there's nuthin wrong with em, i've had a suzi, a kwaka and TWO hondas and i'd have no problem owning another, try a CBR or even a VFR400 if you wanna go a little larger, the NC21 and 24's arent that big and the NC30's are actually quite small...and a HELL of a good machine, nimble and fast and seriously well-proven too

    i also had a NS250R honda 2 smoker....hell of a good rocket also

    i would be interested to have a spin see how it feels its always good to try before you buy

    still humming on the idea of a 2 stroke kinda on the fence about that one but hey if it goes and has 2 wheels im keen!
    I've learnt to hide the pain inside, open the throttle and ride away.

    You wont ride a honda, but you would look at a Hyosuki!?
    I believe you have your brands mixed up there my friend

    How about a GSX250?
    Would be a good step. Pretty much anything can be lowered to suit, so dont worry too much about height.
    I wouldnt reckomend a 2 stroke. Most are hand grenades and not suitable for new riders.
    Motorcycing is not a hobby, It is a way of life!

    Missed forever! NEVER FORGOTTEN!!
    LIVE ON MY FRIENDS!

    Friends dont let friends ride Hyosungs

    ive been riding for 6 years just tooooo lazy to get my ticket lol so am stuck on learner bikes to abide by law (try as much as i can to) the only reason im humming about the 2 stroke is servicing and other things that go wrong with them dont mind a bit of power i know how to use it!

    gotta go test me a GSX i think SUZUKI POWER!

    Less than 130kg so it's very light and nimble.
    37hp so it will do 160kph (for track days of course!)
    Parts are cheap and widely available.
    Simple engine so good to learn how to fix yourself.

    Chickadee's is not for sale though as I like it too much and want to strip it down to race streetstock once she has passed her full and got a big bike. Will ask her tonight if you can have a test ride.
