If ANYONE is selling or knows of someone selling an RG150 soon, say, around January 2006 give me a hollar, because I'll finally have got the money! Excellent!

Rg150s are fun, but more power would be nice. My vote goes for the 250 four stroke as my clapped out fzr could still take on a Ceilca GT4 whereas I lost to a Crx SiR on my rg. SiR = 97.3kW at the wheels.
Rg = Unknown.

Rg 150 pwns the fzr though, Brrrrrrrrrrring ning ning ning ning. All my friends hate it.

I would have thought the important thing is get a bike and do the Km's.
Experience is the key, and you won't get that without a bike (your current bike is listed as sold).
Reading the info on sites like this is good, but is all theory until you experience it for yourself.

but i want help to know what bike to 'do the kms' on
I'm quite experienced (relatively). i ride a kdx 200 every Sunday on tail rides and only sold my other bike a while ago (rode everyday beforehand).

i was thinking about a TS 250 because it has the potential to be a very fast bike especially around the corners and hopefully with experience i can do that. also i want a bike that i can take to track days and have a hell of a lot of fun

Any bike. It doesn't matter.

If it were my money being spent I'd want the best I could get for the dollars I was prepared to spend. Best being in priority order Mechanically sound then appearance.

I could be wrong but while both 150 and 250 are fast enough to get you in trouble with the Law, the one that will cruise at YOUR SPEED with the least effort will be more enjoyable, because you won't feel as though you are pushing hard all the time, allowing more time to take in what is going on around you, and think about what you are doing.

I'm an experienced rider, but I still enjoy pushing a 150 round the track to it's limits.
Another thing to think about is crash costs. When I had my KR250sp I would aways be concerned about the cost of crashing it. That meant I didn't push it as hard as poss in the corners. The 150 is so light, if you crash damage is normally minimal.

What do your friends ride? Sometime it's good to be on similar machinery size wise.

only one of my friends ride (getting more though) and he rides a 4stroke 250 enduro bike, any of these bikes im looking at would be too good. i want to use the bike on trips shown in the "meetings and events", so i want a bit of pep to atleast sorter keep up with the slower ones

aprilia rs250... mmm... they are sexy.... make sure you have a spare $8000 up you're sleeve tho

Hey dude,
I have a KR150 2 smoker, just started(road riding) a couple of months ago.
Altho i do get lots of shit for riding a little lawn mower i find it sooooo easy and fun to ride compared to the heavy 250 4 strokes, much better round town. I have been on a few of the long( over 500 km) kb rides round coro loop etc on the little 150 and have managed to keep up with every body quite nicely, even impress a few people with the corner speed ;-)

Get the 150, you wont be alone on the rides.
