Yeah they're loud/sound good, but I've never heard a bike sound like an f1 car before today

probably because most people don't wind them out often enough - there is no need they are that fast.

My first challenge will be to get a decent looking 250 to start on without spending too much.

Can't bring myself to ride a shit looking bike though, even if it is only for a year.

My mate just got an 08 250cc Ninja, looks decent, but at ~$6k, can't justify that when i'll be selling it a year later

I would recommend an SV650. Relevant to learners as a market but also tourers so they resell quite easily and not much depreciation. V engine, good cc's, quality build, probably one of the better learner bikes that's stil in a not-too-committed price range.

Or you can get you license and wait for your restrictions to finish and go straight for the bigger bike, but I'd rather have learning curves on something I don't care about.

Either way you should get one :)

Yeah as much as it pains me to start on something slow/ugly, with no riding experience other than a PW50 as a kid, I know I need to start at the bottom in this case..

I'll probably get my license, won't get a bike immediately, but as soon as I can justify the expense...So I'd be closer to getting off restrictions as well..

What's the L's/P's periods and restrictions?

I was looking at SV650s and GSX650F, they both have LAMs variant, (but I may or may not of been naughty). I prefered the inline 4 in the GSX650f sounds like a baws

Goes good, sounds good, looks good and not too expensive.

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
