WatchYourStep 0 #4 July 10, 2006 Nice. Good choice (in my opinion) for a 1st bike. "You start off your skydiving career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience.

grue 1 #6 July 10, 2006 Yeah, afaik it's never been sold in the US. Australian law (at least in Victoria) requires a 250CC or smaller bike for the permit period and first year with licence, so I figure I might as well get something I'll like, since it'll be my main mode of transport for a minimum of 15 months.cavete terrae.

hobbes4star 0 #7 July 10, 2006 very nice, and a great choice for a first bike. what is the price on it??if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #8 July 10, 2006 Quotevery nice, and a great choice for a first bike. what is the price on it?? Looks like they go for about $7,500AUD when very very lightly used, so about $5,500US or so?cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sickandtwisted 0 #11 July 10, 2006 Nice. I wish the US had similar laws to prevent some )@(%@$$ from buying a Hayabusa & killing themselves & others on the first day. I started on a 50cc dirtbike & I have owned almost every cc bike up to 1000. I stopped at 1000 because (for me) it was the best mix of power & handling. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. I learned a lot with each bike.Skymama stalker #69!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring it back to the states with you when you are done. Could make an interesting trade, or hell give it to me. Smart laws they have over there.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Buried 0 #14 July 10, 2006 nice bike pretty hot for a 250. many of the 250's look like crap but that is expensive for a 250cc.. at least in the US. what's the dry weight and tank size of the bike? Where is my fizzy-lifting drink? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut 0 #15 July 10, 2006 i had a ninja 250 for my first bike. loved it. was light and would stop on a dime. and it toped out at 115 mph on the autobahn. got a virago 700 now. don't like it as much but it was cheap, and insurance here is way less for a cruiser than a sport bike. have fun with it and take a Motorcycle safety class!!! ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
