    250cc?

    Honestly ... how many of you skipped the 250 stage and went for a 400 or bigger?

    i started on a 250, and then went to a 500. couldnt afford both bikes, or the possible fines being caught on the 500, so sold it and returned to 250s.

    well EJ you have been going down over the years. You had the 250 then 150 now 125....whats next? 50cc???

    Well i bypass the 600cc stage from a 250 to a 900....dun think the 400 is that much different from a 250...

    On a recent visit to one of the loacal bike shops, one of salesmen told me that id be wasting my time going from a 250 to a 400 or the likes of a GS500F (which they had on the floor at the time) and was trying to sell me a GSXR1000
    If Wile. E. Coyote could afford all that ACME crap, why didnt he just buy dinnner?

    I spent two weeks on a 250 and then went straight to a 650. It wasn't a particularly wise thing to do IMO. It was fun though.
