Beginner Bikes

[suprspi]

I'd love to see an article on the updated beginner bikes on offer from Honda (CBR-125R, Rebel) Kawasaki (Ninja 250) and whatever else you guys would choose to bring to the plate as a "starter motorcycle".

Don't get me wrong, I love reading about the big bikes, but I'm starting with a ZZR-250 and would love to see an article featuring comparables.

Great magazine though, I look forward to opening my mailbox every month to see if it's come in yet.

We tested the CBR125R extensively last year and there were write-ups in a few issues. Here's a link to one report that's on the website: http://www.passionperformance.ca/motorcycle/articles/423/

Some of the guys are racing the 125 this year, so there'll be some more information coming in from that front.

We also just completed testing the Ninja 250R, and a couple of other small displacement dual-sports that you might find of interest. Look for those tests in an upcoming issue.

...and then there's the reader's write at the end of this month's edition (Ninja 250).
