Kelly and NSW riders et al, i'm still puzzled why you guys ride a 250 when LAMS are available, this also applies to SA now as they recently had LAMS approval.

[kellz]

i ride my 250 because it was given to me, hence it was free...

its getting very tempting to upgrade to another lams bike but think, nah its only 12 montsh and i ahev my brothers to play with on teh track

LAMS is power to weight; generally you're gunna get the same ride regardless. More torque maybe, and some bigger bikes so more comfort for big folk. So really in means a wider selection of bikes, but not a new superior selection.
Some bikes with approved restriction could be cost effective so you don't need another bike later (or being sneaky and removing the restriction). But I recon most people prefer having a learning bike, and then another 'big' bike.

I know a few big guys who've gone for bigger LAMS approved bikes like GS500, but only for the safety factor.

Anyway what's wrong with 250's? They're plenty of bike for a couple of years. Maybe a bit lacking if you're into long distance or adventure touring, but for the average 250 sport-biker dreaming about 120hp beats, there's plenty of learning in a 250 to keep you occupied for the most-part of the princess plates

Thanks for the heads-up about the bridge. I love riding in early morning so I'll have to shoot down there one day for a dawn-ride when this new zx9 engine is crankin'

[kellz]

heeh yeh i know

not to mention costs...250's are cheaper to reg & insure...and running costs arent that bad..and when u consider most L/P platers are younger..with less $$ to throw at bikes....

good work kelz, least u got 360 odd days to save for ur new cbr 600rr...hahahah

[kellz]

no cbr's for me sorry i want a bike that will be reliable, lol

so i got a 95 zx6r waiting for me in the garage....


got to love having an older brother who rides and lieks to upgrade regularly

[JamesLaugesen]

Oh thanks Neka, I knew I forgot something when I clicked "post".
Yeah CTP can end up ridiculously more expensive for a bigger LAMS bike.
