(around 45HP)I don't think you will be dissapointed especially if your new to riding you won't get bored with either bike for at least 6-12 months. Then you can update to a real bike!!!!Dannopower I not sure about harder to ride than a bigger bike????? It is difficult at first to go fast on them but it's all about corner speed, I know it's a lot harder to keep my R6's wheel on the ground and control the throttle than on my little cbr250rr!!Bikes are sensational fun do not listen to the other guy's and go for it, Just be careful on the road and do track day's to let your speed out, nothing like it IMO←that's hot that bike!!!

And I have found bike riders are more impressed with my car than I am with their bike when I'm out driving... especially when you go with them on a roll on...Jack ←I mostly wanted the bike cause im going to be working in the bity for the next 6-12 months and I hate transport and I cant park anywhere and I though petrol wise and parking (free) would be heaps easier!

I can see your point with regard to ease of travel especially in to the city... but you don't live that far from the city do you? Compared to me that is, being over 30k's out...Do the rider training days and see if you like it, and make your decision then. After owning a bike (and then selling it), personally I know exactly what I would do...

BikerChef Member 7 Member For: 20y 2m 18d Posted 19/06/06 02:57 PM Share Posted 19/06/06 02:57 PM Bike's are Great.. Two stroke, Four stroke.. They're all good.My feeling is, You get a better feel for engine braking out of a four stroke, but the sling shot effect when a two stokes Power band Kicks in, Awsome... But the effect on Licence demerrits.. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26280-looking-at-buying-a-bike/page/3/#findComment-396743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
