Can't decide on a new sports bike!

[Pauly]

had the fizzer for round 6 months, used it everyday, before i sold it i wanted to upgrade to something faster.. really want a 2 stroke but dont know anything bout maintaining one.

thanks Whynot for the two threads, real helpful

They're cheap! And if the brakes are made of wood, then they're not likely to rust, are they?

haha but it means i have to stop every 10mins and piss on them to put the fire out

Well I knew only very little before I got my 2 stroke, and maintenence hasn't been a big issue. I replaced the piston and ring myself and had fun doing it, it was pretty easy and I didn't even have a manual. The 250s are twin cylinders which is a bit more awkward as far as I know

thats a sexy bike. go the cbr rr 250's. no 250 sexier and they are so reliable and will do many km's of hassle free biking. there fast too on par if not faster than a zxr (less weight)

if i could force you to buy a cbr rr i would lol. good luck on your choice. if you buy a cbr let me know so i can give you some green ahaha

I have a ZXR and it is the biggest of the 250 4 strokes, was the only one that felt comfy for me (just over 6"). I've had it for about 4 years and have had no problems with engine at all. Had it up to 190km and only at 16.5k revs, redlines at 19k. Is great to through around but suspension is kinda hard but you get used to it.

Ive owned a zxr250 for about 3 and 1/2 years and its never put a foot wrong. Same about the suspension for me but i would reccomend getting in touch with someone to help you set it up as it is fully adjustable. They are a really nice fit for me at 6' 1" where as i find the cbr tank indents for my knees were too small. Sounds like you would soon get bored on the zzr as they are alot slower and they lean angle before the foot pegs start putting down road markings is alot less too.

Thanks for all the help thing im going to stick with the four stroke four cylinders... probably other the cbrr or the zxr as im over 6 foot and found my fzr tank too small as well and i like the sound of more power!!!!.. ill just have to save up a little more, they seem to be alot more expensive than other 250s.

I am similar height and it depends on the positioning of your feet. ON the balls of your feet like you should ride a sprotbike the CBR is just fine, ride it flatfooted like a cruiser and you will have problems
