When I passed my test I bought a Yamaha RD250. It was 22 years old and I paid £250 for it. It was in fairly good nick and it was love at first sight. All my friends had told me not to buy anything too expensive whilst I was still finding my feet and not to buy anything that was so heavy that I couldn't pick it up. I followed this advice and chose the RD250. I never had anything but problems. It wasn't the bike's fault, it was just ...
