Hi guys,
ive scoured the net for a good learner bike

ive concluded that i dont want the fastest cbrrrrrrrrr etcetc
i dont care about speed or whatever. i only care about:

1) price
2) handling/performance in terms of easy to learn on
3) cost of rego - has to be <$500
4) looks decent, not like i built it in my garage by cutting a go kart in half.

most importantly, id prefer something with an upright seating position, as i dont want my asscrack showing or hurt my back (i know im only 24)

i like the VTR 250 but concerned about the seating angle, rego and the thin tyres. I understand thicker tyres are better right?

if im going to go for an sh!tbox, id prefer to keep it under $3k. that way i wont care if it gets thrashed or stolen

it will be for commutting to work. therefore i dont want to look retarded on it either.
i seriously doubt id ride enough to want to upgrade later on, so longevity would be good (unless you show me a $1000 bike that i can just throw away)

any tips guys?

thanks
