the reason they cost so much down there is you can actually ride all year making it a good investment, up here in WI we get to ride for like 3 months. >:(

2nd gen VFR's are always a good choice, first bike or not!

250s = girl bikes....i know johnny agrees...lolz

If you really need to learn, get a cheap dirtbike. you can get them for $500. other then that don't waist your money on a girl bike

If you're learning the basics and want to be a bitch learn on a ------- 50cc scooter or 50cc full size. At least then you won't have to go through the hassle of titling and insuring just to turn around and sell the bitch in a month.

I have been riding this thing for a few weeks now. I don't regret buying it, but it does feel slow, and a little to small for me. It's also takes alot of reving to get it moving, I think it dosen't make max power until 10k . On the plus side it's a light bike, I would have dropped it a few times by now if it weren't for that. I would recommend these to anyone who wants to learn, as they are 1) cheap 2)slow+light 3) low insurance rate. They are easy to sell also, as there are always new people wanting a beginners bike.

which is why i recommended a 500-750. it gets you through the learning stages and once you are confident it's enough of a bike to hold you over until you really have the experience to get a real bike
