Happy birthday Ant

Hey Matt what time you be home Friday arvo, need to come collect the detailing gear as race car needs a good polish

Hope the pads can handle alloy panels

cheers mate, not sure if i remebered to tell you about my party? if not let me know if your free sat arvo and want a couple of beers in hamilton...

ok got the job, now time to think of a daily,

postie bike, 125 cbr, 250 cbr or ninja 250?

prices are 1400, 2k, 3.5k, 3.5k

distance is 4kms.

nice work mate,

i reckon go something abit faster, atleast then while you sell you car and wait for the right one to pop up, you can come on cruises not in the tiida haha..

also is a 125cbr what bellamy had?... if so do not get one, do you remember how slow it was?

[Ruxis]

Ah that's a bit our of budget haha.

Think I'm going the ninja, not as quick as the Cbr but there only 2 years old for the same price as a 16 yeare old

[Ruxis]

Oh yeah good point ant! That thing was heaps slow!!!

And I probe won't keep up on a bike but I'll go on the end haha.

[GTR-34A]

have you got your motorbike license? its like a 3 day course or something isnt it?

[tweety bird]

Ah that's a bit our of budget haha.

you'll get bored with the power real quick but.

I just flicked my sis an email to get her opinion as she will know of plenty for sale as she has worked with bikes for nearly 10yrs

Ill let you know what she says buddy!

[tweety bird]

two days, but you would have to be the worst rider in history not to pass it..

[34GeeTeeTee]

So basically......Me

[tweety bird]

if you can ride a bicycle you can pass the course.

[tweety bird]

damn you Jarrad, now i'm thinking about buying another bike...

[tweety bird]

how awesome is that bike bro!

[34GeeTeeTee]

I can still f**k that up too

Anyway, here is the first part of the reply from Bec -

Ok... tell him to bypass the 125 option... they are terrible. lol

Easiest options are the Ninja 250 (which should be going cheap now as theyve released a superceded 300 version now)

or a new CBR250R ... (not the old CBR250RR)!

Failing those options I would also look at the VTR250 (naked) or if he wanted to go for a bigger learner legal bike go for a Suzuki 650 (SV or GSXF) .. again (NOT a GS500...they're sheeeet)

Lemme see if I can find any good buys..

You would want to spend at leask 3k to get a decent bike that hasn't been neglected... tell him to look for a bike with low kms i.e- up to 25000kms max!!

[34GeeTeeTee]

Here is part 2 to the email -

I'm assuming he saw the price of the CBR125's... if he's strapped for cash then they are a viable option but just remind him he will get sick of it quicker then a bigger bike and probably have to buy another bike even sooner than he would if he bought a 250 or bigger..

As you can see most decent learner bikes are around 3k neg. (but it's better than spending another $1-2k on repairs & tyres etc which usually happens with the smaller engines as they work harder than the big bikes & learners have no idea how to maintain shit!)

Tell him gumtree is probably the best (cheap) option for finding bikes

I just had a look at bikes sales & found these ones... but there will be heaps more out there..

All of these bikes share the same engine >> (ZZR250/ GPX250 & NINJA250)<<.. this one is a baby at 16000kms...

The list goes on..

[Ruxis]

Haha why don't you have a bike now Matt??

Thanks dude I'll read them after work! For a newish ninja I'd probably need 3.5k I'm thinking.

I think I'll get my license and start looking real soon.

It'll push the garage and gtr back but atheist I'll have a sick reliable daily

[Ruxis]

Your sister is good with bikes

So what's the differenc e between those Kawasakis and the a ninja? I've always loved the green ninjas and would probably spend the extra money if a ninja had better handling and what not to go with the looks. I mean, you hear off everyone you don't lose on bikes
