    Cause if I had to listen to that screaming fucking racket every time I rode a bike, I'd find a new pastime.

    Some of us like doing more than 1000km with luggage a day. A 250 wouldn't last too long doing that.

    I wondered if the noise was typical... especially since your face is the wind break as the little windshield does not create a proper stream to go over the top of your helmet like the big bikes. Might go deaf before I even get a bigger bike even though I constantly wear earplugs!

    I did that on a KMX 125 when I still had L plates. Funnily enough I never did it again.

    A CBR250RR is not just "a" 250.

    fucking aye! also having torque at any rpm is pretty awesome and they don't make 250s like that anymore

    Somethings gotta keep all the extra pesky money out of my bank account. 1000cc seems to do it nicely.

    Sorry but the MC22 engine has a beautiful sound... it's immense as fuck and also they don't seem so crazy when you're just riding them around either.

    ...That's coming from a big V twin owner.
