Even without riding like a cock down suburban streets, a good 250 2 stroke is as exciting/much fun as a new Fireblade.

Reset your router/modem.
It happened to me yesterday and resetting solved the problem.

Yeah my net went down so I unintentionally did that. Very odd that it only happened with youtube...
Are you with telecom? They might have some sort of caching dealio going on or something.

250cc's are awsome, even my cbr125 is a great bike {with a couple of mods}.....

The mid 90's for 250's was a golden era.............a pity its gone to EX250'S....and hyosungs {not that hyosungs arnt good bikes}

Correctomundo.

But the Youtube problem has been intermitent worldwide for ages. Probably whenever they introduce changes to the system.

I believe Orcon are actually hosting a large YouTube cache, and other ISP's tend to interconnect with them to get better speeds.
If there's something wrong with their cache it could be easily making it look like YouTube is broken....or if there was a problem with the interconnect links.

Orcon has a caching server but you need to be using the Orcon DNS servers to have access to it - most ISP's have caching servers now. Telecom seems to be having an issue with youtube over the last couple of days.

Jesus Christ - You'd never catch me doing that sorta stunting on my baby-blade... Dropping the clutch at over 10k rpm has to do damage somewhere! Bugger chewing through tires at that rate either...

Nah, no thanks, not impressed.

I've found through personal experience that most 250s are raped to shit, and in bad condition due to lack of maintenance. The ones that are in marginally better condition are criminally priced. They're simply wearing out - the last of the performance 250s rolled off the production line in 1994/1996 iirc.

Then there's the RS250, but I won't get into that as they cost more than a modern 1000.

Its better to learn how to ride on a SV650 that hasn't been raped to shit by a learner than a 4 cyl bike that'll be $2000 more with 30,000 extra km.

was the camera operator blonde?????

and NO, not like that. I'd hate to do that to my sexy little BB let alone do that to myself. I'd buy a shitter to practice on (maybe a GN)

Must have been... and editing the footage before uploading it to Youtube would have been much better.... for her.

Ummm, that would be an Excellent Tyre.
After you have got 12000 k out of it, then there is the opportunity to do what you want with it.

Personally, I'm a wuss, and just get the shop to dump it in the land fill...

Agree with the topic but not with that lame video! Burnouts? Please.... give me a break.

250s are for one thing and one thing only- cornering, the reason the vast majority of us ride bikes.

Here are 3 videos demonstrating exactly why 250s are indeed awesome fun, definitely worth watching

Well that's what i paid for mine. But yeah i guess after it's worn out a burn out could be ok...

I understand what you mean. There's simply just not enough power for anything else.

What were they thinking designing a bike with engine so small like that.

250's have got nothing. 125-150 is where the fun is at.

Surely those dude's don't have anyway near as much fun as a biker hitting the Coro loop...

Surely you guys realise that just because one has a video of themselves doing a burnout, that is not the ONLY thing they can do.

The inclusion of one thing is not the exclusion of another.
