What 250 should I get next?

[Inverted Vertigo]

I currently have approx $4500.00 and i want some advise as to what 250 to get next. What should i look out for when buying second hand.

[John Banks]

There's a lot of answers to that. What are you looking for? Sports, cruiser? Fast, slow? Are you tall, short? Two stroke or four stroke? There's a lot of things that would go into a decision to purchase a bike.

Well, looky here - you need to get yourself a little ol'Hornet! 250 reasons of sheer delight, handling and blissful pootling!

It is naked, upright and bulletproof dependable - you will enjoy the stalwart and passionate company of other Hornet riders...once you are part of the nest, you'll be in with the buzz!

I may be biased, I may be prejudiced ... but you will never regret owning and riding a little ol'Hornet!

Any questions you have, ask me!

i want a fast sports 250 in eathr 2 or 4 stroke

[Hidalgo]

i bought recently Honda Magna V-Twin, good bike to start of with.

But as many have already suggested, it depends on what really u r looking 4?

[Inverted Vertigo]

i have just been looking at ye lod hornets and they look pretty cool it looks like they pinched some fireblade parts and stuck them on it

[caesius]

Why you going for a 250? License conditions?

If you're looking for a fast 250 you can't go past a Kawasaki KR-1S

Take your pick:

4 strokes- Kawasaki ZXR250
- Honda CBR250 (R/RR)
- Suzuki GSXR250
- Yamaha FZR250 all inline 4, fully faired and considered the fastest of the 250 4 strokes.

2 strokes - Suzuki RGV250
- Honda NSR250
- Kawasaki KR-1S
- Aprilla RS250 but your too poor to buy one of those i'm afraid.

One with two tires, good motor, a style that you like, something that you're proud to be riding, inspected by a mechanic (if your not that way minded) and most important a bike!

Don't get too bogged down by too much advice. Find something that you like, get it inspected and enjoy it. I rode a hell of a lot, even owned a few that weren't for me but at least now I know what my thing is. By all means ask other owners of what your interested in, what they think though. You can learn a lot that way.

Have fun!
