    CBR250 not on approved learners list. Why?

    Hi all,

    As you may know I am looking at my first bike and wanted to have a bit of a play with a salvage project.

    I found this bike here:

    ManheimFowles - Vehicle Details - Salvage

    When I looked at the RTA list it doesn't seem to be on it, you can find that here:

    Approved motorcycles for novice riders

    What's the go is it ok to ride on your L's or not

    Also anyone know what the parts are like on this bike, I will do some research tomorrow but if anyone has an idea on prices tonight would be great.

    Cheers,

    Frank

    Your second link explains why not. Its hidden in the bunch of words at the top.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.

    Success is nothing more then taking advantage of an opportunity.

    I don't get why everyone still asks "is *insert 250cc four stroke here* legal?".
    You're allowed to ride any 250 other than the listed 2 stokes.

    As to the salvage bike - you'll have to go look yourself. If it doesn't have any fork, tank or subframe damage, it could be a cheap fix.
    A set of aftermarket prepainted fairings, honda headlight and possible instruments (exxy). Probably also a fairing stay and bracket thing which holds the instruments in place. And anything else you might come across.

    However it looks like its got damage at the front and rear - how did that happen?
