Hi all
Please excuse lack of Avatar and this could quite possibly be posted in the wrong thread (Tech challenged...).
I have my RE and will be buying another bike in the next few weeks. Limited $'s, vertically challenged (5" and a bit) and need to build some confidence again (have not ridden since last summer).
It looks like i'll be jumping on a Honda CBR125R (2 stroke)- nice and light (easy to pick up), can tiptoe (always nice to touch the ground), warranty (peace of mind?) and meets the budget - but not so happy (have a 250 licence and want at least a 250 bike). Also also looking at an '06 Kawa ZZR 250, but stretches the above a bit.
Had a Yammie SR for two odd years and gave me ouchies and grumps doing 80k in the wind to Mandurah. Now completely dead (RIP) and really don't need the frustration of another slow, fixxer uperer.
Want the bike as a commuter and weekend country rider. Has anyone got any advice for a light and low inexpensive 250? Or advice on the 125? Honda CBF250 too high, VTR250 too expensive, Virago - not going there.
I'll (ideally) be going for the R next summer.
Thanks in advance?
