New rider. Older bike.
Hi....Melbourne Aust, living in Essendon, brought a 2nd hand (dealer) 2000 GZ250 today. Gotta wait till the 26th so i can ride, but the bike seemed to be the best of a lot of LAMS 250's that where really outside my price range, and seemed to be the biggest of my choices as a 6'3 beanpole.
Thanks already for this forum, as it did swing my choice towards this bike.

Re: New rider. Older bike.
Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new bike. Why do you have to wait until the 26th to ride? Licensing or paperwork stuff? I'm just curious, that would be frustrating to have a new bike and have to wait a week and a half to get to ride it.

Re: New rider. Older bike.
Had to wait till the 26th for the paperwork for the bike
 but the upside of this is its now past and I'm out riding! Thankfully the dealer agreed to keep the bike there until the 26th so i didn't give in to temptation. And photos are coming! Thanks all!

In a lot of country's The GZ is a Hog, remember that guy showing us pictures of Chinese GZ cop bikes? Can you imagine a cop trying to ride a GZ over here in the States :lol: , I could out run him in my 73 Beetle.
