** LAMS / Learners Bike Discussion **

well, why is it unregistered?

[dna4]

He said that didn't have the time to ride anymore so he left the bike unregistered.

My gut feeling that something wrong with the bike.

Depends how long ago rego ran out...

Dont buy the first bike you see, and dont buy a bike you cant try out by riding

Also dont get a Hyosung unless its an EFI, a lot of older problems were rectified when EFI model was released recently

[JohnO]

hey guys what do you think of the kawas 250r's ? since its a honda forum it probably should be like a cb400 or 250cbr/rr. budget isnt really a problem getting a bike towards end of the year still saving for it all, just what strikes me is that for a 2010 model the speedo isnt electric like the zx6r or zx10r or any other new bike. Ive test ridden my mates cb250rr felt tighter and a ninja and it feels so much more relaxed. It will be a daily ride to unsw

The Ninja 250r is basically an ex250 (20 year old bike) with new panels, thats about it... I wouldnt pay the extra money for it, id go and get a cheap 250 if for a short while or a 400 if planning on keeping it longer and going with that until fulls. Its plus is that it is lighter, probably easier on the arse and good on fuel. Downside is it wont get you away from danger as quick as you'd like it to, as its just a nugget. Oh and ive heard simply dropping it may cause a write off...

Only small capacity bike ive seen with a digital display is the Aprilia RS125, remember these only started coming out this century and most learner bikes are incarnations of pre 90's models...

Im guessing you're after a sports ride

How the EFI work in the hyo bike?

I also noticed that you can get the 650gt under LAM, providing it was restricted.how can i tell if the bike had been derestricted?

Pricewise between 250 and 650 is very minimal so it might be more sensible to get the 650, any thought ?

EFI is just electronic fuel injection - they fixed up other issues when they released the EFI models in 2009...

Restricted wise, I read the pre-2009 model there is a carby slide with a hole drilled in it... im guessing the EFI has a replaced ecu, which would have a tag around it to prevent unauthorised tampering... you would have to go to a hyosung dealer to have them change this... call them up and ask what teh damage is before you buy one

Also, its a good bike but its heavy, and its tall. Its 210kg dry, if you are short you may have a problem

the weight shouldnt be problem for me - being 6'5'' and 90kg should be able to handle the bike comfortably.

So probably wouldnt be good idea to get any pre-2009 Hyo since it might have problem.

Do you know what is the normal service price for the bike , let says Hyosung ?

thx u.
