Hi folks this is an area I have no clue about at all . so hoping someone on here can help . .

Currently looking into buying a motorbike . I would like something that can be driven on road and also off road . Think the bike may have to be under 14 bhp depending what test I decide to sit .

Love the look on yamaha yz 250cc - do these come on road aswell?

any help appreciated ,

cheers
 
If your just wanting a little commuter bike you can get away with just doing your CBT and you can ride up to a 125cc and get yourself anything really , yamaha dt 125 there lot of Chinese and Korean bike brand new for just over 1K most are yamaha or honda licensed engines

I aint looked in to this in a while though Mark btu my 2 cent any ways Lol

cheers wishy I had a scooter a couple years back on a cbt . however i dont fancy having the L plates on a new bike . maybe after something a bit more beefy than a 125 so thinking about 250 cc . you thinking of getting one aswell .
 
Don't buy a Korean shite heap unless you intend on binding it after 2 years...there made of tin foil.
Supermotos are quite cool..also had a KTM 250f that was a good crossed,was ok on the road too...shame some little gypo nicked it.

yo sammy what license were you able to drive the 250cc ktm on ? also any idea what break it was ? cheers
 
Depending on what age you are dont make the mistake that me and my friends made....there is not point in buying a 125 or 250, your best bet is to buy the bigger bike, do the full access and/or restict the power of the bike....you will get bored or underpowered bikes vey quick.....only take this advice if you respect the power of a big bike and are willing to take a sensible appraoch.

ps if its more offroad you want i agree 125 or 250 two storke is the way to go, but its a huge compromise on the roads, mpg, air resistance, comfort etc

cheers for the advice man . Im 22 and realise how easy it is to kill yourself on a bike . I would consider doing my direct access however id imagine that insurance would be rediculous , any idea if this is correct ? cheers
 
Was going to get bike a few times , done the scooter thing when i was 16 too Lol.....

Going to need to wait till i get a bike now , no where to keep one as i live in a flat just now.
But it would definitely be a super moto probs either KTM or CCM bike i think but thats well on hold haha
