Which 250 should I get?

[MattRSK]

Hey all,

Been around the forums for a while thought I would ask the group. Which 250 is best?

Looking at a CBR, GSXR and a Ninja. Which one is the fastest?

if best == fastest?

cbr.

theres more to a "best" bike though

[Toaster]

Maybe look up the manufacturer stats and then compare kw to weight ratios.

[mattian]

I've said it once.... or twice, and I will say it again. Go the mighty GN !

[Latte]

They'll all find their way into the ditch at an equal speed :D

............. Seriously much of a muchness, better to find a well looked after machine rather than a specific make/model. Although if you must have the fastest learner legal bike around look at 2 strokes.

The fastest one is the one ridden by the rider with the most ability.

The fastest one is the one ridden by the rider with the most ability.A skilled rider on a GN250 will pass you on the outside if you don't know what you're doing.

FZR 250 are cheap and have the 45hp, underdogs but keep'em in mind

[jimbo_on_travels]

If you're on a learners.. why the need for speed? You WILL stack it and it WILL cost you heaps to fix the fairings up. Buy a bike without fairings that's been beaten up a bit, then trade up after a year. <_< GN!

[bluebird]

Hornet 250, sweet little bike.

Words of wisdom spill effortlessly from Jimbo's mouth.

Don't chose a bike which is beyond your abilities, at the very least it's only 18 months on a slower bike while you do your 6L and 6R. Better 18 months of slight frustration than a lifetime in a hospital bed or in a casket

Ah, but you presumably weren't out for the fastest 250 you could get ...

If you're interested in getting the 'fastest' I doubt you'll obey the speed limit so why observe the licensing laws? Get the biggest and fastest bike you can and go hard.

But NIMBY thanks.

[jetboy]

I went and got a CBR MC22...thought it fast as the first month or two, stacked it twice, then wanted more speed and worked the motor.

Aww don't encourage him. You don't have to worry about NIMBY as his address seems to be slap bang in the middle of Christchurch Uni which is in My Backyard ... well same city anyway.

As everyone is giving MattRSK advice I better too. "Before one runs, one must learn to walk".

Oh crap, he's on the Mainland. Bugger.

Hyosungs aren't the fastest 250?:gob::innocent:

[vindy500]

Not saying they are, Ive also had a ninja a bandit and a gsxr400 for a while, all I'm saying is that you're not necessarily going to crash like alot on here seem to think.

[McWild]

The fastest 250 you can buy, stock standard, is a Kawasaki KR1-S/R.

Go get one of those, it will make you cool.

Better than that, buy 3. That way hopefully at least one of them is working.

the zxr250c is the fastest, its got FAR better susspension, brakes i think are on par with the mc22, but im not 100% sure as the mc22 has brilliant brakes.

Round a track a well maintained zxr should be slightly quicker.

But just get what ever turns you on, as the differance is moot.

If you go zxr make sure the cam chain has been replaced recently, if not, get it done.

RGV!

[imdying]

Those are all slow diesels... you want an RGV250 :yes:

I got my CBR250 before I got my 6L. I've now got a 6R, and 10,000km after I bought it I haven't stacked it.

Most bins wins.

I'm assuming that you've had a lot of crashes then?
