250's ??? - General Sportbike Discussion

T-Main · 05-23-2008, 08:56 AM

Im lookin at buyin a bike and doin it up for stunting. But with the laws here in aus i have to wait till i have my P plates for a year then learners for my bike for 6 months, only had my P plates for car bout 6 months, so a while yet to i buy but P plates on bikes are limited to a max of 250cc. Im assumin it would be the best option for a beginner on doin stunts. I ride a dirt bike now so i do have experience on bikes. Wat im asking is 250 big enough??

Ummmm, that's a 600. He asked about 250s.

Over here we only have the Kawasaki Ninja 250. I don't know what else is available. Many people have stunted the shit out of those.

Isn't that a 2 stroke? If so, it wouldn't make a very good stunt bike.

CBR250 option... maybe

VTR250 is also a good option (more torquey as well)

Do you have the LAMS system up in Qld where its now based on power to weight ratio? If so you could also look into motard like the DRZ400
