    But, yes, it's a great feeling when you finally get to twist the throttle on something with proper-motorcycle levels of power, innit?

    Sweet. Endless summer riding ahead. Do be careful until you are at one with the bike. Took me at least a couple of hours before me and the GPX got on well enough to throw it into some corners . Happy times.

    The jump from a GN250 to ZXR/CBR250 is about the same as the jump to a bigger bike from what I can tell. Power wise anyway. Handling is better but not quite the same jump. To the SV thou anyway.

    Love that "holy fuck" moment when you give it some serious wrist Still remember the first time I took my ZXR over 11k RPM.

    Gonna miss my ZXR but now there's no going back.

    Ragingrob, enjoy mate. Those pocket rockets are heaps of fun to ride and out perform most cars on the road. Make sure you get some decent tyres on it. Last thing you want is to end up in a ditch!

    I stuck Avon Roadriders on my ZXR250 and never had any grip issues but there are more sticky tyres out there.
