Well hey guys , the title says it all. Atm I got a 50cc Hysosung sf50 and been riding it about 2 years. I would like to look at getting a 250. But know nothing about them. Please give me some advice on what I should be looking for in a 250 and what bikes you reccomend.
Thanks
Mike

If you're lame - a 2cyl 4t.
If you're not - an IL4 4t.
If you're gonna drop it - a naked bike.
If you're not - you wouldn't be asking.
Preeeeeetty simple.

Smarty pants... since ages ago
Just find one that you can afford ... that looks half decent to you. Get it checked out by either an EXPERIENCED rider(friend) or a bike shop. You will most likely be looking to upgrade within a year or so, for a bigger bike again. Plus in the learner years ... some damage can be expected. Less so later as your experience grows ... (usually)

Why a naked bike?

Teach its owner to fix it and it'll break in some way you've never seen before.

Coz you will only smash the engine casings, and not the expensive plastic.

Hmm.
If it's commuting look at twin bikes, if only for weekend riding go with 4 cylinder bikes.
Pick whatever you think looks coolest otherwise.

Cmarrrrrn, the (v)twins a great with a loud pipe on them..

Well I have to give the IL4 some points. Even though they are more expensive to maintain and use about twice as much gas for about 5 extra HP.

Get a perm.
Also if you're short enough an FXR150 is a great bike to ride
Don't forget to bring a towel
Get a 4 cylinder bike. Lots more power than a 4 stroke twin. With only 250cc's to play around with, you need all the power you can get (without buying a 2 stroke unless you're happy to pay for the fuel and maintenance).
A flash of lightning
Get a full licence and get a real bike. A 250 cc bike does not have any power worth talking about so if you want more power get something bigger.
Ride fast or be last.

Im looking at a 250 kawasaki or a 250 hyosung sports bike. Considering getting one from a dealer? whats your opinion. I will be using it as main trasport to and from polytech

Work out how much you want to pay, then go for the best combination of year, mileage/condition, and appearance (to your taste) that you can get. I'd say providing you get one in good nick, there's not too much difference, providing you feel comfortable on it.
Keep on chooglin'

Is it a good idea getting one from a dealer? looking at a nija 250 or a 250 hyosung. I can afford to pay it off weekly
