Hi Kyle, welcome to KSRC the GPX is a great bike to start out on.

thanks, robracer . are there any isses/quirks these bikes have, ive noticed that it has twin front discs, all other GPX's that ive seen have singles??.. any info/help would be greatly appreciated since this is my first road bike...

I will leave that question to the Geepee experts...... but twin disk is better than one just check the minium thickness listed on the disk & measure to see if they are not worn too much + check the wear marks on the pads to see if they need replacing, the mark is a notch in the side of the pad... if that's gone so are the pads. Learner bikes such as this tend to have a hard life, but with the right maintenance they can easily last till you are ready for a bigger bike.

cheers mate thanks for the help.. i have been around dirt bikes for as long as i can remember... and my step dad had a few quick road bikes but this is my first foray into them

Hi Kyle, welcome to the forum. Nice bike choice. I live in Maitland, one day we might have to get some Hunter guys and girls together for a ride.

Twin disc means it's a grey import!

G'day and welcome aboard...

Twin disc means it's a grey import!
