advice needed

[tommybhoy]

Again im looking for some idea's.Im hope to pass my Restricted test very soon and was looking for a 250cc to do me for the two years i have done some searching and cant make my mind up.I am looking for a sit up type .

Any ideas would be great and what would be even better is an image or link..

I just dont want to spend my money (limited to £1500)on a bike and then after a week see something else i like!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So dont restrict yourself to a 250, get a bigger machine and restrict it, then you can get it unrestricted later and get more out if it.

Personally i would go for a bigger bike and restrict.

When i returned to biking 2 years ago, i got a Gn 250 and then a ZZR 250. Both i found not so good to ride. Both were sub £1K.
Changed to a XJ600 and its so much better. OK its not restricted, but its so much more stable to ride and costs less to run....
Including the Ins.

what do you mean by mock?.Who organises that?

[Ant132]

Probably the training school hes with, just to give an idea of the actual format of the test, and to see if you are ready and confident.

Good luck for tomorrow Wisenerl! What time do you kick off?

If your set on a 250 the best looking one is a Honda VTR 250 imo, 32bhp Honda V-twin. Learner-Tastic I say.

Not very common mind.
