Chris you need to take a Ducati for a blast along a lonley and windy road at sunrise... then you will be keen on riding

I am going to looking at a Honda VT250F on Wednesday - guys got it for $1500 rego included but no RWC. Looking at this http://www.250ccbikes.com/honda-vt250f.html

It appears that they maybe duds but he assures me of it's reliability.

Can anyone atest to the quality of these bikes?

Thanks
Sean

you should do your bike licence in qld, never rode a bike on the road done 3 day course, str8 onto open licence(must have car licence 3 years)no restrictions

that's cool but I'm already booked for my license here plus a 3200km round trip seems a little excessive.

In the mean time I've bitten the bullet and bought a brand new Hyosung GT250 which should hopefully serve me well over the next two years at least.

well they changed the rules in NT but we have L's for 6 months, then Ps for 12 then open. limit durin that time is 250cc, then i think its 500cc the following year then whatever u want afterwards? these new rules came in end of june last year coz we had heaps of road deaths (stupid tourists and indigenouses). funny thing is though, we had no speed restrictions on our highways, and after they introduced the 130kmph max there has been more accidents and deaths on our roads. coincidence?

My theory.Decrease speed limits so people get bored and in attentive causing more crashes(on highway)
Remedy:Generate more revenue with more speed cameras so you build super highways,but restrict speed even further,requiring more revenue collection methods and have more people getting bored and spearing off.
Remedy: More of the same.

Give it 10 years and i reckon we will have to put one of our passengers out the front on foot with a red flag,all under the watchfull gaze of the guvmit red flag speed cameras

haha yeh i think ur theory is pretty close to reality. i always wave to speed cameras as i go past
