Hey Seany. Will it be your first road bike? If it is it will probably seems great for you. They were never very popular due to the low power and shaft drive on such a small engine, but it will be good for crusing and if you're new to the whole game and want something cheap to start as a project, I don't see why not. Anyone else got any problems with them (from a first bike point of view)?

seany if u really wanna go down that road [ive destroyed a couple of NTV hire bikes working them and Si s right there boring] but there is hope..... buy a bros 650 and put an africa twin lump in it much better idea

Go for it, at 1200 bucks it won't break the bank, and at 16 your license will last longer on it.

[Hillsy]

Are you allowed to ride one of these on a provisional license [?]

Yeah - spot the dad...:D

[fimpBIKES]

i have honestly never heard of this motorcycle in my life!


but it sounds nice and cheap as a run-about sorta thing

[appo]

im sure you will get 1200 bucks worth of fun out of it mate!!
not many bikes around that look that tidy for that money.

[seany]

well yeh first road bike haha i sorta wanna get good monoing real good and long and fast and endos haha so they are shit on power?? so if it was low power there would be shit monos yeh??

You've gone from wanting a first bike to streetfighter into a stunt head. If you want to stunt mate forget this bike. Get a piece of shit on it's last legs as it'll be dead before you know it anyway from stunting. Stunts come with experience mate, with no experience you could find yourself in A&E faster than you think. We can help you with Bikes and Streetfighters but as for stunting you're better of asking the stunt lads at Cunningstunts, like Bender.

just get a binned CBR600 and do her up

should come together pretty cheap

[seany]

well all i got is 2 grand to do anything i would do that but whats a cbr600 worth haha alot yeh

[fimpBIKES]

hmmm, maybe so older than
early 90's 600?

[BOHEMION]

learn to ride it before you stunt it. Plus i dont think you have much choice on power till you are on ur full licence.. Check ya licencing laws.....

[seany]

YEH I RECON ILL JUST GET IT ALL I WAS ASKIN HERE IS ARE THEY RELIABLE REALLY LIKE AND IS THE SHAFT DRIVE GOOD SO ON HAHA

[Jockney Rebel]

ive ridden loads of em back in the uk their bulletproof and basically idiot proof chuck out about 50 horses

[fimpBIKES]

doubt a 650 is gonna be learner legal in the new system

i think GS500 is about as far as u can go isnt it?

[appo]

they are quite a few learner legal scooters around (so I guess bikes too) and a
mate of mine is on his L's, he rides a 650(dakar) beemer (legally).
depends on the bike KW's and your state/territory rules ???

Depends on whether some mad bastard has fuel injected and Turbo'd it I guess :D
