Daymn forgot to look at the forum for a day,

N I have a wealth of knowledge already... :D

thanks to you guys.....

Gook and Revhead,

I'm currently looking around with a mate, for a Cbr250RR.

Price range is around the $4 to $5k mark for second hand.

I'm trying to get it in Yellow n Black .

I'll be going for the course test in about 3 weeks time, then do the L test.

I have a 92 zxr250c & if you want a more race oriented bike get one of these or a cbr250rr, dont bother with the single r unless its really good value they are more a nanna's bike, although still better than a across or the like! The zxr feels slightly bigger so if you a bigger lad maybe better. As for the power of a big ie: litre class bike revhead is right, i had a ride or 2 on a mates cbr900 a couple of days ago & the first ride just blew me away with how much acceleration they have, & how easy to whellie. To give you an idea, 2nd gear @ 100km's flick the clutch & feed the power on & up she comes, it's just awesome fun & this is a 94 model so would be down a little on power compared to Revheads929 or a R1!

do you go trail biking alot?

i am thinking of taking that up instead of riding on the road seeing that i've always had bad experiences on the road...

what kinda bike would i be looking at if i wanted something with a bit of grunt and could go trailing with?

I heard the WR400's are alrite....

Yeah go trail riding heaps man... Its really fun, especially when you got a few mates with you as well... Also riding on trails will improve your road riding big time....

The WR's are good bikes you might want to look at the Xr400's you can get 2000 models between 4 and 5k....

Cheers.! :uh-huh:

Get a v-twin for your first big bike. Smooth power delivery, low down torque, no crazy black lines when you get on the gas.

Japs make some good ones but go straight for a Ducati. It'll save you realising years later that you should have bought one first up. :P

hey lepperfish - cool avatar (your profile picture)

I don't recognise either of these models (zxr250 and go for a CBR250RR) are they off road bikes?

I have a CR250 (Honda 2 stroke - MX bike) but want to get a 4 stroke at the end of the year when all the new ones come out over here.

I have just done an enduro race today and could have done a lot better on a 4 stroke due to the conditions - MX bike really are better for MX riding than enduro but I will make due until I can get a 4 stroke

:uh-huh:

this is me all nice and clean before the start :P

by the time I had finished and been in every bog there, I didn't look so clean :) fortunately I managed to stay on the bike most of the day :D

I just bought a Suzuki Across... being a chick's bike and all, slow but very light, so really easy to learn on... got her for just under 4k with good mileage, immaculate paint job (which i've now deflowered) jacket and a spare helmet. Got told over the weekend that the Across's are the crappest learners bike, but I'm not having too many dramas, apart from having to clutch start it when i left the boot open - yes, there is a boot or helmet holder type thing, so good for my handbag, lip gloss and stuff...

I've already dropped her a few times, so don't spend too much money on your first bike, especially if you need a valium after putting even a tiny scratch on her.

Another option is the ZZR250 and I'm partial to the GPX250... happy riding, see you on the roads soon!! If you do the pre-learners course at Clyde, pray for Frank as your instructor as the other guy is mean!!! And screams if you give his bikes a bit... but it's easy as a hooker on William Street and if they passed me, they'll pass you!

Good luck son!! Once you get it, you won't want to get off... and you'll be contemplating upgrading after about a week. I'm already thinking of an R6... I'm off to go for another ride!

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
