** LAMS / Learners Bike Discussion **

**LaZaZaL89** · 30-07-2008 08:38 PM

I know a lot of people who dont currently own bikes such as myself, will be glad to see the bike section put up so they can ask questions. The first question I have, that im sure many people would be interested in, is what bike you think would best suit the needs of a learner rider and why... Not just, a "cbr250rr cuz dey look fuly sik". Price wise I doubt I would want to spend over 6,000 on my first bike, so anything under that would be great!

i think the new yamaha is coming out at about 7 grand~its a 125cc and looks good. if i were you i would spend my money on a 600 cc bike

The only problem I find with buying a new bike for your learners is that it feels like such a waste of money, especially if you drop it and then go to sell it one year later.

**hisoka** · 30-07-2008 09:19 PM

yer thats probably why i would just get a 600cc bike lol~

i've ridden cibbys, ninjas and spadas
out of the 3 cbr is the better

spada's arent too responsive and feels flimsy.
ninja stance seems too low for my liking.
CBR weight feels good and solid. responsive. plus it looks better lol

ahh spadas sound awesome

i read somewhere the new yammie 125 is based on the m1 technology in terms of framework

**EKVTIR-T** · 30-07-2008 10:25 PM

spadas do sound horny

one of my favourite sounding vtr250

I wouldnt get a 125cc.

Personally I would forget about looks. The best bet IMO is to find a naked or semi-naked. You should also consider seating position and the power band.

I dont think the yammie 125 is not coming to oz. Anyways 7000 on a 4-stroke 125 is a waste of money

Best bike for around 6k budget for a learner would defenetly have to be.
Honda RVF400, got lots of power excellent handling balance and brakes.

I race a VFR400 on the track and when i go past 600cc bikes its just a awesome
feeling. The VFR400 and RVF400 are soo chuckable and handle like very few bikes ive ridden. Take one for a spin and youll realise how much fun they are.
