Only one year for LAMS if you're on a full car licence already.

I just got my licence a few months ago. Bought myself a brand new Kawasaki Ninja 300 (because FIFO didn't want something without warranty). Gets 400+ km per tank ($20) around town.

Pros:
Cheap to run/insure and hold value well (2nd hands are around $5-6k)
Dished some chop to a 1340cc HD Dyna 😁 (until 100km/h)
No vibrations
Looks basically like a super sport (yes I can list all the diffences too, save your fingers those in the know)
Can lift front tyre off the ground 1st-2nd change, talking a few cms lol
Keeps up with the CBR500R, the two most recommended LAMS non MX style bikes
Cons:
Doesn't sound like a super sport
Isn't a super sport
Regular gear changes because it's a close ratio box, but I love changing gears because it keeps my mind on what I'm doing as well as keeping the revs in the +7000rpm range (goes to 13000)
