hai guys
so i passed that test and think a cb250 would be best to begin to learn on around local streets and shit for a while until im ready for something bigger/have more money
there's a big difference in price between bikesales and ebay. you, graney, said bikesales is expected to be more expensive. how much would one of those bikes in reasonable, undropped condition be?

Im looking at a GSX at ~$3200, but heres another at 1995 SUZUKI GSX250F ACROSS - bikepoint.com.au
BTW i hate the fucking cruisers at wollongong training centre. Failed the second day because the throttle kept sticking, went back today and passed it. Trainer couldnt figure out why i failed.

I bought a 2001 model CB250 back in 2004 for $3100 (off autotrader.com.au). The prices people are asking for them doesn't seem to have depreciated at all since then. I've seen a few cheap CBF250's and Yamaha scorpios, only 2-3 years old, for around $3000, so that seems like much better value.

Got my TTR250 home yesterday dawg
Rear tyre is at -30% tread, will need to change that before i go for blue slip. Need to get to a yamaha dealer and order a new numberplate holder/rear mudguard thing because i lost the original and a new front one cos its bent from crashing into a tree. Found all the blinkers and mirrors and shit though. Found a 13 tooth sprocket that i intend on putting on, who cares if it drops my top speed to below 100 lol. Have to take the restrictor out of the header pipe to make it less of a piece of shit and modify the airbox. Ill get a TK pipe or staintune or something one day but no money for one right now. Will get some new bars one day too, renthals or something. Might even get it bored out to 300cc one day when i get bored of it lol

Aren't you sellin' the ttr? Why so registered?
Wish I'd bought a dirt bike instead now, I was peer pressured into the sports bike. I don't get what I'm supposed to do with all this power, except cut up my licence.

what is the difference
both can go on the road
one can go on dirt also
they are arguably as good on the road at lower speeds
one is far cheaper and more reliable
if you drop a ttr nothing will happen, if you drop a "road bike" it will break shit
and you WILL drop it
you'd be a stupid asian to not get some sort of dirt bike tbh
