Would a 250 fix my back

**Monorail** · 18th December 2006, 19:40

Hi Guys,
I'm approx 6ft give or take. I'm riding around on a little 125 and my back is really starting to hurt in the past month or two. I was wondering how much bigger 250s were physically and whether it would help. Also does anyone plan or know of someone planning to sell (or give to a charming young lad such as myself) a 250 in the next two months. Preferabbly sports and naked but anything considered as I want to cruise up on the first day of school. Got a lot of shit about my current bike frm firends and turds. The turds got injured

.
Cheers,
Matt

Certainly. You'll probably feel quite comfortable on a Honda Spada (my nephew had one, a big boy and loved it)or Suzuki Bandit. You may find it's more to do with the upright riding position and/or the shocks are shagged. You could try a lower set of bars to lean you forward a bit.

One reason I settled on a '77 Honda CJ250 as my first bike was because it was quite a tall long bike for a 250. I'm 6' too btw. Lots of "big" 250s being imported now.

I got my Spada for $2800 at the start of this year. It was in 'pre-loved' condition, but nothing that needed to be fixed before riding, although I got it fixed anyway, merely for cosmetic purposes.

Spada would be the best bet for a cheap, large 250 IMO. Pic is in my profile.

I'm 6'1/6'2 and even though I'm a bit big for the gpx I have no back troubles with it, I think the gpx are one of the smaller 250's too? So I think you should have no problems on the bigger naked bikes!
