Hey guys I want to know what everyone thinks about this bike as a first bike?

Note: Where I live the max displacement is 250cc as a learner

Thanks

Ok guys I thought I should update this, I bought the scorpio for $4600 new with everything included, it runs great and had it upto 130KmPh and im 6.3 so thats a pretty good effort for a 225. As of today I have done 1186.2Km

The previous picture is different to mine, the digital camera is bust at the moment so here is a pic from google of what mine is like.

Congrats! That is a very cool bike. We've got nothing like it here in the States.

It sucks that alot of these awesome little bikes never make it over to this side of the pond. Like that yamaha or the kawi KLE500. I get sick of the american "bigger is better" consumer mentality sometimes.
