Ahh you always have to proove a point...
Since when has a postie or a Pee-Wee 50 been typical road bikes... let alone learner bike?
250r still last years biggest selling road bike. And suprisingly enough they are ALL ridden by learners... *shock*
The Honda CBR 125
Honda Bros NT400
learner legal 400cc

i really didnt feel safe on those skinny wheels

04 Suzuki GSXR600.
Taught me how to handle a PHAT bike w/o dropping it, brake, control the throttle & control myself.
lol best advise there roni.
I had the opportunity to ride the new ninja 250R, its too expensive for what it is (mainly because it looks appealing to most new riders). CBR250 is a great bike but it is an old relic :p
I still think that the VTR250 is the best learners bike out there today.
But, since when riding a motorbike is all about being sensible.. otherwise we all be riding scooters. I think I'm right in saying that buying a bike is all up to each individual taste in the end. And when some people argue that any particular bike is better than the other, I wouldn't blame them.. In a way, they all right..
I started with a VTR250 and can't put any fault on it... but I think I got everything out of that bike in a few months time. Now I ride an Aprilia RS125 and this is like a steep learning curve to me.. but I like it!!! And with the new law coming, I think the best bike for any new riders is the one that they wont mind spending some time learning on.
ps. I sold my VTR for a profit and bought the RS for a lot cheaper.. 2 strokes FTW !!!
i m thinking about the hyosung 250/250r...mostlikely 250r..i mean be honest..everyone only plan to ride it for a few months then sell it for their dream bike...so i m thinking a cheap newish bike.not too fast and its similar to a sports bike style so i can get use to it and sell it a few months later and hopefully wont lose too much money and easier to pass it onto the nxt L as it'll be cheap and newer
i m also thinking the prices of it may drop alot in a few months so i m better of getting the 250 as its almost 1k cheaper ( i m talking about 2nd hand here) however may be harder to get ride of as it obviously doesnt look as appealing...i mean either way L's look gay riding on any bikes...but i hope to get one that'll be easier to sell after a few months...
comments?
hyosung has crap resale value.
get 250 2nd hand for cheap and resale it. u wont lost much. i made a profit actually
