Price difference between what I sold my GN for and what I bought my CBR250r for : $600

Riding difference and fun between the two : Priceless

Seriously! Holy crap haha I am having so much fun! Got myself a '88 CBR and it's saweeeeeet!

Damn nice to be able to pass ppl at 100 and just stay in 6th gear if I want :laugh:

Mechanically runs mint as, cosmetics not so hot but nothin' big and WHO CARES! Woop!!!!

Keen for some rides with others!:pinch:

Oh, ya reckon? We'll see...

:laugh:

But, yes, it's a great feeling when you finally get to twist the throttle on something with proper-motorcycle levels of power, innit?

Sweet. Endless summer riding ahead. Do be careful until you are at one with the bike. Took me at least a couple of hours before me and the GPX got on well enough to throw it into some corners :buggerd:. Happy times. :2thumbsup

Gorilla's ready to parrrrtaaaaay! :wari:

The jump from a GN250 to ZXR/CBR250 is about the same as the jump to a bigger bike from what I can tell. Power wise anyway. Handling is better but not quite the same jump. To the SV thou anyway.

Love that "holy fuck" moment when you give it some serious wrist :gob: Still remember the first time I took my ZXR over 11k RPM.

Gonna miss my ZXR but now there's no going back.

Ragingrob, enjoy mate. Those pocket rockets are heaps of fun to ride and out perform most cars on the road. Make sure you get some decent tyres on it. Last thing you want is to end up in a ditch!

I stuck Avon Roadriders on my ZXR250 and never had any grip issues but there are more sticky tyres out there.
