    funny world we live in when something that is 5 years old can be considered "new"

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....

    i have never had the pleasure of buying a new bike. Sad but true.
    But the 250 market is very limited and the price of old 250s I wouldnt be surprised to see an alarming ammount of the new hyos and ninja on the streets very soon.
