money wise though i reckon that DT is alright... plus its just a first shitty bike neways...

Mate you can't go past a good XR250 for what you want. $2500 should get you a later model in good nick. More reliable than the DT and easyer to ride fast, not to bad in the bush. Go for ever if you look after it.

i've found a good Honda CR250R... http://bikesales.com.au/all-bikes/private/details.aspx?R=2312755&__sid=11FFAFCEF53A&__Qpb=true&Cr=9&__Ns=p_Make_String|0||p_Model_String|0||p_IsPremium_Int32|1&keywords=&__N=1432%20604%201430%201429%201428%204294967259%204294967121&seot=0&__Nne=15&trecs=72&silo=1400

only prob is that its in QLD, if i can get it shipped to me how much does it cost roughly to make it street legal, rego and insurance??...


also this DT http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Motorbikes/Trail-Off-road-Bikes/AdNumber=TP001780462?BackToResult=true truly isnt that bad is it??.. cause already road worthy and has 12 month rego... plus its only my first shitty bike so watta u guys think??... also trying to keep the budget to 2 g's

pre 90's xr500 with road kit ^^ before they got the shitty computers and all that useless junk

ha?

Your not listening CR250F, not CR250R, dont get a 2 stroke motocrosser for your first bike, youll kill ya self and hate it. (And cant get reg)

And dont get a ag bike DT, they are shite. Ive ridden one.

Get something like this
http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/Motorbikes/Trail-Off-road-Bikes/AdNumber=8565568?BackToResult=true

They will go down to 2 grand.

Other good options are DR 250(suzuki), or TTR250(yamaha)

CR250F is relatively new and my budget isnt enuf for those bikes thats y i looked at that 250R.. i'll keep trying to look round for more bikes..


EDIT: found some alright TTR250's only prob is that none are in NSW

yeah buts its sweet, try the other ones i suggested, there all fairly equal and ive ridden all of them. XR, DR, TTR or KLX. 96-98 model u should be able to find one for 2 grandish. Goodluck

bob wat it mean if it has like S or F or R or L after the cc? e.g XR250R?? are KDX's any good?

also how much roughly for rego, insurance, and to convert a bike if it hasnt been already so it can go on road?

and wats this bike like : http://bikesales.com.au/all-bikes/private/details.aspx?R=3037803&__Qpb=true&Cr=12&__Ns=p_Make_String|0||p_Model_String|0||p_IsPremium_Int32|1&keywords=&__No=165&__N=1432%20604%201430%201429%201428%20743%20681%2080&silo=1400&PriceTo=681&seot=0&PriceFrom=743&__Nne=15&trecs=330&__sid=11FFAFCEF53A

It changes for each model, F on the new ones generally means four stroke. KDX's were good in there day, 200cc from memory but two stroke again. It was an enduro model and could be registered, but because its old two stroke, you would have to mix your oil with your fuel. Which sucks.

Were do you live and ill have a look for u.

just buy a fucking car u dick lol

sorry bob i meant DR NOT KDX... lol if u clicked the link u woulda seen also lol...i live in Coogee, Sydney.. i looked up to check that DR250S spec's and it says its a 4 stroke... and if this guy says it cruises 115 on the highway tahts enuf for me... plus theres rego on it till like august...

and wounded i would buy a car but the whole point of getting a bike is so i dont hav to do gay 120 hours of l's shit when i can ride straight up without doing hours just a course... bikes are cheaper too and could be fun if i get a trail bike that can go on road...

so bob back to the DR if it is 4 stroke u reckon its not a bad buy??

back on topic! lol... im heaps worried now cause ive neva driven a manual or ridden a manual bike lol.. or manual anything in that case... wish me luck for the test hahha in 2 weeks
