Hi, maybe y'all know i just bought my 2008 R-250 not even a month ago, and i already felt it's not really for me. I just felt that it's too small and too light for myself. What do you guys think, should i sold it and trade it with something else or just keep it for a keep sake?
Just FYI i've been riding bikes since i was 10, now i'm 29. Nowadayas i dont really ride bike as much as i used to be. So basically i just ride for recreation. I really wanted the new ZX-10 but nobody has it yet. Suggestion ???

 

If you just ride for fun I would just get a 600cc sport bike. a 1 liter is overkill i think.
How much experience do you have with street bike. What are other bikes you have had in the past?

 

Get you a ZZR600. Keep the 250R or donate it to me!

 

no Rock it won't fit in your duffel bag.
if your not gonna ride it, you might as well find a good home for it and put the cash toward your new one.

 

Put an ad in craigslist,lookingfor somebody to trade it with something,but so far nothing interesting came up. Might ended up selling it to somebody and get a CBR600, i found quite interesting. But i dunno ... can't sleep last night thinking of it, duhh ...

 

I, too, just bought an '08 250R and found it a little slow on picking up. I bought the bike for track day use and will track the bike a few times before deciding whether I should keep it. It's best to start with a light and less powerful bike. Then again, I just learned how to ride last year. It may be different in your case. And now should be a good time to sell since '08 250R's are still pretty hard to come by.

 

hmm, I would be game to add a 250. If you have set the ride up for the track, and want to go beyond that, then something bigger or different is in order.

 

Been putting ad on craigslist, so far nothing really interesting came up. Some people wanted to exchange with their cars, which i dont need. Sigh ...

 

The 250 is a great Bike and it can do incredible things for its size, but if its not for you, then its not for you. If your just looking for a nice quick ride, for short commutes or sport riding go with the 6R or if you like longer rides then the ZZR. I really see no need for the liter+ bikes on the street other than the fact that they are BA. Sit on a few bikes and try to get a test ride, I know its hard but it can be done.

Oh and if your interested in trading I got $20 and a half a pizza, but ya better hurry up before the offer gets cold.


wow, bad pun

 

Lol. I was wondering how long this types of threads would come up in regards to the 08 250R
