Here are 5 bikes I've found on trademe that interest me if my GN manages to sell itself...

So, which would you recommend and why/why not??

Any input greatly appreciated!!!

None of them.

Why not? They are all small road bikes. They gain you nothing over the GN

A trail or dualpurpose bike is more versatile - especially if you can step up to a 600 or 650

Just my $0.02

Hmmm since I'm on my learners I'm just looking for somethin with a bit more than the GN...but if none of those give any more grunt than it...?

[klingon]

Of course I would say stick with the GN - I ride a Volty!

I'm only going to upgrade from the Volty when I have my full, so I can upgrade to a 'big' bike in one simple step rather than going through several 250s. Meanwhile I can go bike-window-shopping to my heart's content.

So yeah, that's my recommendation.

grrrr

You cant really go wrong with a zxr.

[_intense_]

cbr250rr (MC22) if you want performance, its the hardest of the 4cyl 250s, but not by much, a good zxr is sweet to. both of em a re old 2nd handers though, and may hav had much abuse, be wary about them. a good one is a gem, a dud will cost you heaps. nxt choice would be a vtr

[imdying]

VTs are shite and just love to go bang if they've been neglected or getting long in the tooth. Very carefully check the stanchions on the ZXR, if they're even slightly pitted they'll chew out those new fork seals in record time, and fixing that properly ain't cheap. Keep the GN.

cbrs are ok bikes, MUCH MUCH better than a GN!

[homer]

waste of time going from a 250 to another 250 youll be bored in 10 mins

Oh and by the way my GN has done 32,000...if that changes anyone's opinion...

if your still on your learners why are you worrying about how much grunt you got,gain some experience first then get a faster bike when you graduate through your liciences,be patient grasshopper you got a life time of riding ahead of you

[Ragingrob]

It's just I do a lot of open road/motorway riding and I find the GN needs to be pushed to hang around 100!

How long till you are of the learners?
Might be best to keep saving until you can move up the cc ratings.

[Ragingrob]

Had learners for like a month only lol...still almost 2 years before I can move up!
