Very happy with the bike. The CBR wasn't available until 2011, but it still wouldn't have been a factor because it's only a single cylinder. The Ninja 400 isn't available in the states, only Canada & the UK. I love the Ninja 250 and don't feel like it's 'screaming' all the time. I don't want...

It was me who did the spanking. I've got 52k+ miles under my belt with a bigger bike but sold it for the 250. We took highway 245 from Squaw Valley through Badger and Miramonte to Orosi. You'll find back to back twisties there and 10 - 20 mph corners through a good portion of it. Fun road and...

Thanks!

Bingo! Too heavy and too much work to sling around corners. I can work the bike and not have the bike work me. Made the transition from a 650 real easy and the bike much, much more fun to ride. :D

Jack enjoyed riding the piss outta my 250, even though he couldn't wring it's neck. Enjoyed it as much as his 'busa and he's an accomplished rider - drag racing and all that. I think it's not under powered so much as most people are used to more horsepower in larger bikes. For me, that little...

Mods are on back order. :banghead: Until then, trying to put as many miles as I can on it to get to that 1k break in mark. Geeez, but I forgot whatta pain it is to break in a new bike.

Thanks for sharing... and I will definitely post up any mods we do when I get it. :D

Why is it that most everyone thinks that because I have 50k+ miles on a 642cc bike that I need a one larger than a 250? This isn't about what I am capable of riding - hell, I could ride anything, really. This is about what I *want* to ride, what I am *comfortable* riding, what I am *looking*...

You said all I needed to hear right there because that's all I want right now.

Sweet! Thanks for the info!

No thanks!

You can't be serious?

Thanks for the explanation and the link!

Thanks for your input. Just out of curiosity, why go with a slip on?

The DRZ is too tall for me. I've been looking at the XT225, but was recently introduced to the Kawi 250 Supermoto. Both are appealing to me, but I probably won't utilize the offroad abilities of the bike - even though they have a bit more power, it'd be like a smaller version of the bike I have...
