What type of bike do I need?

Kawasaki ER-5
It is 500cc but still learner legal[/QUOTE]

Not in Victoria - he can ride an RS250 Aprilia or an RGV250, but not an
ER5 or GS500... Go figure...

Buy Markos (well, Markos friends) Spada.

It's in NZ waiting for me to go over (22 Jan) for a ride for 10 days
then I'm back here for 14 days on the ER5 then back to NZ for 14 days
on the ZRX then home on 28 Jan. ZRX will be home around 6 March

I've got the worlds best job.

Thanks for that.

When will you be in Melb again. Beers etc.

Kind regards

This weekend in fact!

We will be rushed for time, but sounds good!

Cheers

I'm working all weekend. Will be down at Geelong most of Saturday then
to Warburton for the rest of the weekend.

Some other time. Will you be down for the World Supers in March?

Kind regards

A&> Does Melb have LAMS?

Nope. And neither does the rest of Victoria...

 

I could do a "Flying visit". I'm still moving my sisters stuff up from Melb
that is in storage, so yes, other opportunities about!

Cheers

Hammo

BTW how is the lovely missus?

those 500's are oh so dangerous , dont you know you could hurt yourself bad

 

Try A Spada. Cheap to buy and cheap to run.
I don't know if it's common among Spadas but mine
always seemed to get 22km/l. You should get a very good
Spada for $4K.

And it's loads of fun to ride.

Cheers.

 

Except that they always crash

Has anyone ever known an Across that didn't crash?

 

ZZR it is then...

I'm here between 02 Feb & 14 Feb then back from Chch on 29 Feb but
could be busy for a couple a daze. Off to Geelong for a week 15 - 20
March then a few daze riding to Gunning, down to Bombala then Cowes on
Wed 24 for World Supers.

If you need a hand with stuff and I'm around give me a shout 03 9331
0947.

Lovely! Having 2 days off work after 19 consecutive work days so
she needs a break.

Kind regards

That was my comment. I was not aware the ER5 is not legal for P
platers in VIC. I know the Govt are considering something similar to
LAMS and I erroneously thought it had been approved.
My apologies. Must be the ageing process.

Kind regards
Dave Milligan

But did they read the opening sentence ER5 is NOT legal in
Melbourne or anywhere else in Vic.

I bought my son a CB250 (2001 model) in December and rode it 85km home
for him from Dromana to Brunswick (he didn't have his L's at the time).

I've been riding since 1977 and this CB250 was so different to the CB250
I had way back then. I was really impressed by how easily it sat on
110km/h and, with the motor humming along at about 6000rpm, it was only
running at just over 500rpm more than my CX500 for the same speed.

I weigh about 70kg and am about 1.65m tall so I don't know how it would
feel for a heavier and/or taller person.

Oh I dunno

 

Get a bandit 250. A bit more grunt that a CB250. I did my riding test on a
CB250. It struggled to do 100 on the freeway and I only weigh 63kg. I've had
my bandit up to 165km/h and that wasn't even redlining.

These can be had for between $2000 and $4000. If you do buy one, get the 96
onwards model. These have the GJ77a motor. The earlier GJ74a motors have a
reputation for having carby troubles.

 

Yamaha Virago, Rossi said they are great too ! )
