125cc or more, least it can safely do 100kph on the motorways, easy as to get a licence for a bike
I'd have to disagree with you there, I booked in for a road worthy and new set of tyres for my SV when I first got it. I took it in and they picked it on
Exhaust too loud, it may have been but they had another sv in the yard with an american yoshi which was a shit load louder then mine and had a road worthy on it.
Rear disk needs replacing, it did but they quoted me $250 I got a braking wave disk for $100 and the other shop put it on for free when they did the tyres
Front disks are warped, they weren't and are still on the bike 15,000ks later. Quoted $700
Broken bolt in ventura rack, quoted $40
Steering head bearings can't remember but I know I got it cheaper at the other place.
There was probably more too but thats the what I can remember.

And to top it all off, when I told the guy to stick it he tried to tell me that I needed to have the tyres done before I could take the bike. If he had of already but them on the bike fair enough, but he wanted me to come back and pick it up later that day once he'd put the new tyres on. If your going to be a dick about a road worthy don't expect me to still buy tyres off you.

That said I still don't have a bike mechanic I like in Brisbane. I get tyres from Nerang, and do my work myself.
