    What is the most fun 250?

    What is the most fun 250 you have ridden? (on the road).

    I want to hear from people who have ridden bikes such as:
    Road legal motorcross styles bikes like a klx250
    2cyl bikes like the Ninja
    4cyl bikes like a Hornet or Bandit
    V-twins like a VTR250 (I really liked the Hyosungs V-twin engine, very fun bike for long rides and tight corners)
    Any thing else you have ridden on the road and had alot of fun with

    I've never ridden a cruiser (they don't look fun) but if you reckon they are then suggest that aswell.

    RGV250 , in comparison, a 4 stroke is like a wet fart

    If you can, read Richard Hammonds write up in the latest Top Gear magazine on his KR1-S. Says it all really.

    Ive ridden all of the above, and many more, and my pick would be any of the 2 stroke 250's.
    that also depends on taste too though, some like the dual purpose 250's cos they can slide them a bit more and go offraod as well.

    IMO cruisers dont get fun untill at least 800cc - then they can provide you with lots of fun on the right roads.. But thats just my opinion.

    Zen wisdom: No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously. - obviously had KB in mind when he came up with that gem

    I've owned an RG250 and it was great. I also had (later on) a Honda CRM250 road legal 2-smoker Enduro style bike. The latter was, without any doubt at all, the most fun of the two.

    sounds like you should get some bum on seat time on a nice windy road on a big cruiser, more fun than you might think!
