Newbie to KSRC and riding in general...

Post by PinkBike »

Hello all,

I was told to visit this site by the lovely people on MRAA after I asked for feedback on my potential new bike: Kawasaki ZZ-R250.

A little about me? Well, I've loved bikes and riding for years but have always only ever been a passenger! I've intended to get my licence and my own bike for over a year, but somehow the money just never seems to be available... (especially after they hiked up the price of getting your licence by 3 times!!) I have regularly been riding with mates and have been on the Adelaide Toy Run for the last 4 years.

I was hoping that some of you Kawasaki lovers could give me some advice about whether this particular bike would be a good first bike for a reasonably petite 23 yo female. I dont have much in the way of muscles, so I'm concerned about getting a bike that I can actually lift!

I'd appreciate any opinions anyone would like to offer! :)

And feel free to message me any time.

Susan.

Welcome aboard Susan...

The ZZR is a great first bike and you'll go from being very gentle with it to ripping it up through the Adelaide hills in no time... :twisted:

Have you met Neka yet? :shock:

Actually... funny you should ask, I was just reading through a series of posts about this "Neka".... is she a chick who likes chicks?

And no, I certainly haven't met her.... just so we're clear, I'm not into chicks.

Thanks Dave :)

Hi Susan, you're off to a great start. :lol: :lol: Neka did actually state that he's a lesbian.
I like your choice of bike, dunno about the colour though... :P
