The one you extended her probation?

Yup and it's only 1 month into the 3 month extension...

[Count Grantleyish]

Geez, tough decision to make...

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah they're loud/sound good, but I've never heard a bike sound like an f1 car before today

probably because most people don't wind them out often enough - there is no need they are that fast.

My first challenge will be to get a decent looking 250 to start on without spending too much.

Can't bring myself to ride a shit looking bike though, even if it is only for a year.

My mate just got an 08 250cc Ninja, looks decent, but at ~$6k, can't justify that when i'll be selling it a year later

[CrispyFries]

hyosung 650? can be unrestricted at the end of Ps

[dezz]

nah wouldn't wan it when I'm off my P's, would be in the market for a gixxer/R6 etc, so better off going with a cheaper second hand 250

[CrispyFries]

They also have a 250

Gotta love the inflated market on learner bikes, hold their value well as everyone has to buy one, actually made a profit on my 250

[dezz]

Interesting...Might make spending a bit more on a decent looking 250 viable. the ninjas look alright, there was one the same as his, only newer, for less $ lol

Where abouts is chequered tuning now days?

[JEPPE]

I would recommend an SV650. Relevant to learners as a market but also tourers so they resell quite easily and not much depreciation. V engine, good cc's, quality build, probably one of the better learner bikes that's stil in a not-too-committed price range.

Or you can get you license and wait for your restrictions to finish and go straight for the bigger bike, but I'd rather have learning curves on something I don't care about.

Either way you should get one

[CrispyFries]

Really should have got my P's before selling my 250

[dezz]

Yeah as much as it pains me to start on something slow/ugly, with no riding experience other than a PW50 as a kid, I know I need to start at the bottom in this case..

I'll probably get my license, won't get a bike immediately, but as soon as I can justify the expense...So I'd be closer to getting off restrictions as well..

What's the L's/P's periods and restrictions?

I was looking at SV650s and GSX650F, they both have LAMs variant, (but I may or may not of been naughty). I prefered the inline 4 in the GSX650f sounds like a baws

Goes good, sounds good, looks good and not too expensive.

In Dandenong still.

No idea where the new shop is, best to ask Trent

[CrispyFries]

Unless they've changed it, Ls 3 months, Ps 12

Learner approved bike, no passengers

and what's the difference with L's and P's?

Passenger restrictions?

[dezz]

ah edited as I replied...So on P's you can have a passenger but not on L's?

[CrispyFries]

Sorry, same restrictions on both I believe

[dezz]

Sorry, same restrictions on both I believe

lol, so what's the point of having L's/P's if it's the same rules?

[dezz]

250 Ninja

Something like that would do nicely, mate got the same thing in red/black
