Thread: After some opinions on first road bike

I had a 250cc hyosung and that was very zippy. I only weighed 69kg at the time tho. I got 3.5 L to 100km from it. 350 odd km from a 12L tank. mix of motorway and suburban traffic.

If you are only going to be riding to and from work then a larger engine bike is not very useful unless you are not able to fit on a 250 comfortably.. some 600's i looked at getting used 6-7L to 100km and will suffer depreciation and wear and tear excessively compared to a 250.

the new 300 twins that the japs make are very good. get a naked version as there is no fairings to damage and normally a lot more upright riding position.

the money saved could go to heated grips
