    I'd rather have a CBR250 than ANY other learner bike. A 2 smoker would be nice, but I'm not prepared to pay for maintenance on one.

    Nowhere near as much maintenance on a two stroker as most people say if it's in good condition

    The main problem is they're all older bikes now that have been owned by owners with the mechanical ability of a monkey

    I guess a hot smoker would be alright if you had the mechanical knowledge to look after it, but I personally don't have the knowledge to put in new rings, bearings etc so I wouldn't touch one of them as I would have to pay someone to do all the work for me which will cost a kings ransom.

    VTR250's are pretty damn nice.

    Can't see why you would need to do any of that, unless you bought a fucked one in the first place

    The new CBR250s have nowhere near the amount of power as the old ones did. Ask anyone who's owned an old CBR250, they're a pretty bullet proof little engine and they don't seem to have much go wrong with them.

    yeah, but unless you live on a race track, the new one's got enough power. plus plenty more tech to make up for it
    i guess its my personal opinion, i'd rather have New 0km .
