in this stupid state where soon well all be forced to drive no more then 30 on roads where there are people
hes lucky his car didn't explode into thin air traveling at that speed

saw a guy yesterday in melb- it was 43 deg

il think il just go with a 08 model
they look nice, most have under 15k traveled. and are usually 5-6 grand
just put a nice exhaust on it

have a look at the clearance centre then. the salesmen aren't too bad there. (they are like sharks at the main store). the older guy is the best. might get all your kit for a decent price. its a bit like aladdin's cave.

other good place for new riders is bikemart in ringwood.
thanks for that ...

yeh I have seen a few on bikepoint with low k's traveled

Resale on 250's isn't bad because they are popular and relatively cheap to begin with.
I WOULD NOT be buying a brand new bike for my first one that's for sure!
No doubt you will drop it at some, or several points and if it's new, you will
spend more time crying than riding :cry:
Just get some ...

Hey,
I'm a inexperienced rider, and I'm looking to make my first purchase of a 250cc bike.
I didn't really want a thrashed cbr250, so I have been looking at the ninjas.
