Buying a motorcycle- help :)

[dale]

First up reason for buying a motorbike is that i lost my license for 6 months which is in effect quite soon and i need to beable to get around.

basically since will be on Ls maximum is 600cc's but i would like to get a 250cc one as i dont need all that power etc and the 250s still go well.

my first thoughts on this is i would like a good lookin sporty bike for under 3-4k and i will be getting 3rd party insurance as its such a cheap bike

I live in sydney on the north shore so any help on this subject would be good, any good places to get bikes, models i should be looking at, tips, insurance choices and anything that you can think of

This isnt a whoring post so do that elsewhere!!! only helpful advice please

Thanks all!!

I thought you couldn't do that anymore? (loose your car liscence and get a motorcycle liscence while on disqualified status)... have you looked into it?... I know you used to be able to do it but i'm 90% sure they changed it so you couldn't (only in the past few years)....

Also, I thought all L platers where limited to 250's... and even at that there are still 3 (from memory) that you can't have 'cause the power to weight ratio is too high.... One of which is the Aprilia RS250...(bummer that)... can never remember the othas....

can you elaborate if i am wrong in my ussumptions?....

Oh, yeah... Try a Honda Fireblade 250.... Not sure the exact title... 250RR or sumfin....

I was under the impression that if you lost one licence you can't get another type (eg lose car can't get a bike licence?).

Yamaha YZFs, Honda CBRs are fairly cheap and pretty easy to ride. Should be able to pick up a 250cc 2nd hand for somewhere within that price range.

My brother got busted doing 122 in a 60 zone on his modified R1. He got away with a 3 month suspension which involved his drivers licence too.

Any suspension means suspension of any RTA licence.

before i proceed i will actually fone up and check that out
