Attention GN250 riders

[varminter]

Thanks for all the help and advice guys, I'm still on a restricted for at least the next five months so if I do change it will be another 250. I really would like to upgrade to a sports bike style as I feel the cruiser won't work for me. Anyway I'm sure trying different bikes is a good idea. Wife not too keen, she wants something that accommodates a few suitcases, thats what cages are for.

why not try a sheepskin under ur arse

Good idea, do I leave the sheep inside it or is that still illegal.

How about a GPX250(old ninja)? pretty comfy riding position and a good step up in power from a GN (doesn't take much i know ). they make a good cruiser but still fun

I'm thinking that while all the details regarding bum crack pain etc are very entertaining - two things, that could be important, are missing:

Age and state of fitness.

We're all built differently and have different comfort levels. As such, what works for one person may not work for another. I suspect we all have an idea what a few extra kgs may change - I sure as hell do. And while we may grow tougher with age we also get less flexible.

Best of luck with getting it all sorted - hopefully both cheaply and quickly.
There is always the Chopper Read option as well.

I agree, at the moment i am quite happy on a smaller framed 250/400, and i can see myself staying like this for a few years but not that many.

Age is the wrong side of 61...just. Fitness, I go to the gym 3-4 times a week, walk or cycle with the wife (so thats a bit slow) and hump stuff around for a job. Tall and skinny 6ft 77Kgs, and think clean and righteous thoughts....sometimes
