I will join you guys... Just answer me pls

/bikelinesaustralia brahs, want to post up / pm me rough costs for picking up and starting down the road of motorbikes? E.g. rego, insurance, gear, maintenance? Getting keen again. Have researched a bit but always good to here more accounts & opinions.

Thinking of standard learner bikes like ninja 250, VTR250, or gs500f... not the fastest I think, but still cool and good resale?

I should probably save my money... But live it up while I'm young and get one anyway? XD

Even if I go through with it - couldn't afford a Ninja 300... would love one though :'(

[UNR33L]

Yea just get a ninja 250 or something like that to learn on for a year wont loose much money, rego is like 400 bucks for a 250 and insurance just get third party which is probably like $150.

Gear wise you'll need helmet $300-500 (mine was like 480, could spend upto 1k if you want, depends what fits and feels good), kevlar jeans like $200, jacket is $4-500, gloves $50-130 and I'd recommend getting some boots when you can afford them say $200-250 for normal ones. TBH gear really depends on what you want to spend, but personally i'd set aside 1-1.5k for gear.

Pretty much summing up what I thought the costs would be like! Looking pretty positive so far

And hoping can get one with decent amount of rego so I can avoid paying that even / getting absorbed in bike budget.

With insurance, is there a difference between third party, and theft? Noticed insuremyride separates the two...?

Did you buy your gear online?

Ninja 250 tempting. OR do I go oldschool boyracer (boyrider) and gamble with a CBR250RR (not thrashed at all )xD

[Miguelone]

3rd party, you hit someone else your insurance company will pay for their damages but not yours. Theft, your vehicle is stolen, they'll pay you out for agreed or market value depending on your contract.
