First bike, not first time riding, help!

[Too New To Know]

found another bike that i really like in a movie, it's not going to be the one i learn on, maybe later down the track.. are these classed as sport bikes? im not too sure the file's piss-small so check it out if you know your bikes and tell me what it is!

why don't you just post the pic into the thread? your pics aren't working for me either. that server is probably down. you can also upload and store pics in this forum as well. that's how I did my sig.

Don't hate me for going back to this but I didn't want to start a new thread. I'm new to bikes and want to have one of my own by next spring. What I want to know is with the cbr\fzr\zxr, what would be the price ranges for those. I know they don't make them anymore. But are they quicker than the ninja 250s and are they more reliable? Also, my friend has an '04 ninja 250 but within the first month of owning it he had to get the carb cleaned out. Would this be a normal thing with ninjas. Should I get one of the older bikes or the newer one? Is reliability even an issue? Just to let you know I don't really like the way the ninja's look, but I do like the way the fzr's look.

Are you in Australia? If you're in the States, you're pretty much stuck with Ninja 250 and Honda VTR 250 as far as 250 sportbikes are concerned.

I've seen about three fzr's and one zxr on ebay.

Also, I have researched this but I couldn't find any reviews about the nsr250. How are they? With reliability, weight, and speed.

I'd suggest finding whatever is available in your area within 100 miles radius. With ebays, there's always the lemon factor, you're pretty much buying something you never test-driven. If the seller is near where you live, you should pay him a visit first. When it comes to bikes, all of them are reliable and flickable, but it's the individual bikes which vary from condition to condition.

[aussieidiot]

agree with Z. you shouldn't buy unless you can see the bike. i had a '91 fzr and loved it but as with all 250's they need to be rev'd to get them moving so they are all much of a muchness for reliability. honda are also known for their reliability through out the range, so if its a main concern stick with red wings

All right, thanks for the help guys. I guess I'll just wait for next spring and buy my friends '04 ninja. He said he'll give it to me for $1500 to $2000.
