Hey all! I'm a virgin rider with little experience. However I'm not a dumbass, and want to live to see my 30th b-day. So, I'm thinking of going with the 650R rather than the 250R. I don't want to get home and think "crap, why didn't I get the bigger one" And I figure I'm gonna pay about 5k for a 250 right now because they're so popular. I might as well spend a little more and get a lot more bike. What do you all think???? That black with the dark red is freakin' sweet too!!!!!

 

Since only you know how you ride, and you are already second guessing the power to cost, I would say the 650 is a good bet.

 

Thank you sir.

 

agree'd my friend just bought an 08 250 and hes tired of it already.

 

The 250R may not be able to hang with the big boys but it is great in looks, MPG (I get 60) and cornering. 70mph in some tight turns on some WV/VA back roads is fast enough for me! It's more practical than any other bike for the street.

 

I actualy just yesterday got a Suzuki SV 650F. It's bad ***, as I am just a laid back cruiser type dude. Nothing against Kawi's, cause I love em too. Just worked out that way.

 

imo the 650 is a good beginner/keeper bike

 

its got a nice amount of torque but isnt a rocket like the 6r-10r-etc

 

i like my 6r - but i love the look of the 650r and i would enjoy the more relaxed riding position for my daily commute
