cool,
Yeah my buddy likes the 250R, its in his price range and what he is looking for, beginner styled bike...

Even though he can top it out @ whatever it can top out @ 100mph ish? think the 250R will be sluggish with weight on it?
Basically he doesnt want to be on a scooter compared to me, lol.

 

Hey, its me, the buddy pauls been talking about. Figured i'd post myself and get in on the forum action.

Sounds pretty good, i mostly feel like i just gotta go sit on it feel it and see how its gonna be, then i think im gonna wait until paul gets his and test drive it see if its got all the ***** i need it to have considering my size and all that.

anyways ill be around, hit me up in a PM if ya got something to share or anything..

 

Hey Paul welcome to the site in case nobody said it.

 

Well in May I am coming up on year 1 for my 250r. It's my first bike I bought used with 4k miles on it. It would be nice to have something a little bigger but the 250 is still plenty fast and i get over 65mpg every tank. Actually around 72mpg is my average.It's a great learner bike and fun to throw around. The only way I am getting another bike is if Ican buy one paying in cash.

 

thats why i got a used bike for my first bike - old 95 zx6r for 2000K and i love it.

 

Get a good deal on an 01 zx6r and you will hjave the same bike as the new zzr's, so there are planty of parts available if you do lay it down.

 

Thanks for the opinions guys, I bought a 07 ninja 650R today though, great deal $6500 still in the crate, considering the 250 was gonna run me $5000. i went for a 650r. My friend is going to get the same too.

 

Awesome decison and gratz. Post some pics when you can.

 

Good choice man, one of the guys I ride with has one and he loves it.

 

i really like the style of the 650r.

seem like good bikes to me - more low end and less screaming top end those those more interested in moving around town than flying around a track.
