Hi, and welcome to the learners club (which I should be leaving in the next couple of weeks, I just need to scrape together $90)

If you can get it to run on 91 then save you cash, otherwise it's 96 for you. You could try 98 but that's expensive and I can only think of two petrol stations that have it. I'm taking a punt here but I'm guessing the bike was to get to Uni so just remember to take it safe, it's better to miss a lecture than spend the next couple of months getting compasionate consideration towards you marks.

hey dude, welcome to the site,you will be fine with 91.......

[saiko]

Maybe. My 86 likes high octane, and lead pills in the gas tank.
You'll know if you hear it pinging.

Welcome to KB Ricky.

The Honda CBR250R is a nice bike and owning one in no way means that you are a learner...not sure if I got your meaning right there? My first sportsbike was a black '89 Suzuki GSXR250 and boy did I think that was fast until I upgraded to a '92 GSXR750.

Enjoy your stay.

And now I did.

I'd say you are all nuts. Poor ricksta, he'll be scared for life.

Welcome, if you are looking for any advice this is the best place for it. Only been here a short time but everybody has been nothing but helpful. Just try to run away from those with dubious leanings...

Are you out my way??

[ricksta]

Thanks for the warm welcome u guys... i'm not really that new to motorbikes, i used to ride my dad's old suzuki back in indonesia (the one with a kickstart and only had 4 gears! ) but i'm quite new on sports bikes especially the 250. Still having problems in controlling the throttle...

So i'm guessing 91 is okay? thanks for the help.

tristank, i live in Howick and i wasnt sure wether howick is in east or south auckland actually so yeah... i live in the same suburb as Gremlin's

[MSTRS:Me]

and damn do people check me out on the road

Pssst just quietly, it's not you it's the 'L' plate they are checking out. It's a target, don't you know. Nice little bike, it'll be fine on 91. Enjoy.
