    All the money in the world, which 250?

    Hey all,

    After looking through Bikepics.com Ive come to the conclusion - the CBR250rr is the best looking 250cc out there. If I had the coin I would import one thats in 100% perfect condition with next to no KM's.

    What 250cc would you buy if you had the coin?
    1990 GSXR 750 - want one, can be crap, can be awesome....pm me.

    If you had all the coin in the world for a 250 you should just bribe your way into a full licence and get a Ducati 848 or MV F4.

    Ahh but that wasnt the question...if you were new to the biking world...needed to buy a biker, your first bike, what would you buy. Your rich and ignorant to the biking world. You havent been wavered by people saying, Hondas suck, Hyo's break down etc etc.

    1 x CBR250RR
    1 x ZXR250
    1 x RS250

    and 1 x RG150 because it is the first bike I ever owned

    If i was that rich and wanted to be ridiculous I'd make a bike the same size as a modern 600cc (R6 lookalike but with top shelf suspension etc) then build/buy a jet turbine with a 250cc rating and bolt that in, I have no idea if you can classify a jet engine by volume, the combustion chamber is large, but there is no physical displacement just forced movement, so I suppose you would then have a frickin quick 0cc bike

    or am I being toooo ignorant?

    If you had all the money in the world you would buy a Yamaha TZ250!!!

    Of course thats a track bike so... Id personally go for a Mint Honda NSR250 mc21.

    What would you buy..
    Rich and ignorant to the biking world and flying to the US to bypass the 250cc restriction isn't an option... +only buying on looks...

    RS250 or ZXR250 (C model is better looking than the CBR250RR). Maybe Hyosung GTR250.

    If Ducatti made a 250 it'd be that regardless of how it looks. To the bike ignorant Ducatti is the only thing they know and they know it's "cool".

    Interesting, the custom made bike sounds real cool. NSR250 would be up there also, the swip card model. TZR250 would also be awesome, they are awesome to look at too. Amit - I knew you would go for a RGV150...you love those things eh?
