250 vs bigger bike. In case you wondered.

to be fair. in the weeknd we went out for a 750km ride. getting in the big open sweepers I spent more time looking at my speedo than at the road.

Thanks for the review. i sat on a 09 ninja250R today testing it in the shop and wondered about everything you just told us. still felt huge and felt like i was on a boat compared to my little DT. . leaning, rolling etc felt so awesome and i fell in love

hmmm my 250 is boring me already i could do with a little extra power for passing etc. but only 1 more year to wait. (if i pass the tests)

I've got a ZXR250 at the moment.. Il definitely agree that heavier bikes feel more "planted", when testing my 400 race bike (on closed roads) i have more confidence in it. Really enjoy the ZXR except for the revs. I've geared mine up, but it means every hill is 4th gear, though i rode from duniedin to AKL this year with no probs.. I'm looking forward to a bigger bike, but i'll probably build an RGV up for sunny sundays.

250cc people better appreciate how easy it is to stay under the speed limit on one

Jebus H fookin CHRIST..............comparing a 250 to a 1000 is like admiting you would prefer an in grown cock with ovaries for testicles..........
Inverted penis=250
Cock as a scarf=1000

lol... Okay... All I was saying is that on a 250 there are a few good things you overlook until you are on a big bike. One of them is that you don't have to worry about losing your license just for rolling on the throttle for a second. Not to say that it'd make you want to go back to a 250, but things happen a lot faster on a modern 600 or bigger... Personally I didn't want a big bike to show everyone that I could wear my cock as a scarf (rather than your inverted penis thing...), but everyone's different.

3 tickets in 2 weeks making me think smaller big might be quite good!

After a few weeks of owning my zeal I wanted to sell it and get a full licence bike even though I wasnt on my full. Now after patience and hard work I find the Zeal is totally fine, because I can pin it really ride it till the red, good for commuting, wont cost as much as a gsxr600 when it falls.

I dont see no coolness factor in owning a r6 or any bike, the most ratchet unpopular person could own a 6hundy doesent mean they are cool or the bike. The fact that whether it be 250-1000 + you ride and have a passion for riding. Alot of adults I have seen treat motorcycles like a bragging, manly thing, they go out and get the biggest bikes and think they are the man. cough cough PHILL GOFF cough.

You can still have fun in very very twistie roads where the speed is more in you're 250's capabilities. Dont be stupid and spend 7grand on a hyosung or ninja wait it out with a cheaper then get a nice bike.
