| Hey im new to the bike world and gonna get my licence in a couple months, just wondering what you guys/girls reckon would be a good bike to learn on, obviously its gotta be "LAMS" so under 650cc, im looking at something about the 500cc mark since id want it to last me a while. my brothers just got their licence's and one of them has got a Kawaskia KLE500 which is a dual pourpose bike, something like that would be good but the ones i can find are outta my price range, so im probably looking for a dual pourpse bike or a naked style around $3000-$4000, i'd be doing a fair but of highway ridding since i live a fair bit outta town.

WA: in WA we have a simple system of 100cc - 250cc for the RE class and 250cc and above for the R class motorbike license.
Choosing your first bike: well that will be different for everyone.
How tall are you, how much do you weigh, do you have long arms, do you like to go for long rides, do you want this to be a long term purchase or just until you can go for your R class....
The best advise is go round to as many bike shops as possible. Sit on every 250 bike you can find. Feel how you position yourself, how comfortable it is. Does everything fit.
You will hear heaps of recommendations from instructors and learners alike. Mine would be, stay with the major brands. Look for the bullet proof bikes like CB, GN, and so on. These bikes have been proven over time.
If its an interim bike why buy new? second hand in good condition will do. If its long term purchase consider new or near new.
I hope thats helped. feel free to contact me for more.
