Definitely! I tried one of the cheaper/lighter ones on and there was just no padding or protection, I was happy to spend the money to get something better.

The guy happens to be talking about bicycles, but still relevant to us.

Don't tell me what to do.

Just went and played with a Ninja300, now I know some people don't like them, but they are a pretty decent starting step into riding.

I don't not like the Ninja 300's, my only issue with them was they are quite expensive for what you get but I think they're great bikes.

The "sport" style bikes are not for me, but that's just my preference.


Did you buy it?

[Hypnotic]

Nope, but it is very comfortable and smooth. And yes the price is pretty hefty for it, they have a 2nd hand one with about 6000km for $5500ish

 

I also sat on a Virago, boy they are small bikes, and an XV650.

 

As much as i don't like it, I might see if I can take my mates Honda VT25 for a spin

You have to put up with the bike for minimum 1 year, so you might as well stick your arse on every bike you can get access to and make sure you're comfortable with it.

[Hypnotic]

That's my thinking as well. Probably glad that guy hasn't called me back, His bike is a Virago.

 

I just on the Suzuki Intruder which is small, yet still a lot bigger than (is that right?) the Virago.

Far out... the LAMS bike market here has gone pretty dry...

[Hypnotic]

Due to the small nature of the main bike I was looking at, being a Yamaha Virago, I have decided to give it a miss.

 

Both my mates are selling their bikes, they both bought the same bike, the Honda VT25c, one silver and one black.

 

Strange enough but I don't mind the look of the black one at all.

 

Now even though the 2 off them are currently in the same car, i'm getting a selling war, it's quite funny.

 

I'm going to take the bikes for a test and if I like them I will just lay down the funds. they are a decent starter, done these 2 well.

Checking out a 2004 GS500F with 38,000ks on it about 3km from my place tomorrow... see how it goes...

 

Dude bought it and lost interest, then license expired... I might be the same... lol

[Hypnotic]

The Hunter is nice, wouldn't mind it, the Hyosung on the other hand, no thanks.

That's a scooter, you should be ashamed for posting it

[Hypnotic]

Saw a guy riding a KTM Duke390 on the way home, they don't look half bad, but really need to be half the price otherwise it just doesn't seem worth it.

[Hypnotic]

I think this just happened......
