What bike should a learner buy... help!?

Question

Here in NSW, Australia a novice rider is licenced to ride a bike with engine capacity up to and including 660ml and which does not exceed a power to weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne.

That's any bike in the category from 0-260ml excluding:

Suzuki RGV250

Kawasaki KR250 (KR-1 and KR1s models)

Honda NSR250

Yamaha TZR250

Aprila RS250

Now, I just intend to go from home to gym and back... so my intention is that I buy one bike and use that... of course, I will get hooked and upgrade later.... but at this point I can't pass that bill through the petticoat parliament... so ... what do you think

Answer 1

Suzuki RGV250
