    learner bike options

    hey guys

    need some advice, looking to get a bike some time in the future

    as u may or may not know, legislation is changing/has changed in victoria regarding the maximum legal allowable displacement for learner bikes

    i believe the old system had a displacement limit of 260cc

    the new system takes a power to weight approach

    here is a list of allowable bikes for learners

    on that list is one i really like, though is prob breaking the budget by a LONG way for now is:

    not only is it new, and pretty powerful, its also learner legal and looks awesome

    should i wait an extra 2 years or so and spend twice as much, or just buy some shit box to start with since ill prob drop it or do something nub for the first few months at least, lol

    i dont think QLD even takes power to weigh ratio yet~i see bastards with 250s winding it up my street all day aye~seriously but i dont get sick of it.

    by a second hand shitty bike~but make sure it has enough rev to keep you smiling for a while~i didnt read the lists lol~but the cbr 250RR has smiles all around for new riders as it sounds "pretty sick" on the high end.

    HAHAHHAHAH ... i still have my cbr250rr after so long :P . one of the best handlers around I think, personally it didnt take me much time getting used to the 250cc. Although I do know some people that did have problems for the first month + constantly dropping the bike.

    I agree the power of the 250rr is shameful, its all noise and no go just like what hondas are :P

    Personally I really like the 250s and would recommend it to anyone who has the knowledge of bikes and knows how to look after a bike + maintain it. Ive rode the GS500, ninja, gpx etc.... i would still choose the 250rr hands down
    looking for aftermarket FN2R parts ! pm me !
