Do I need a bigger bike?

[nzspokes]

Just a random thought when rolling along the motorway to Bombay tonight. Do I really need a bigger cc bike? My little CBX250 goes along fine. 100 to 120 without to much worry. How much more power do I need?

I do need to change of the CBX mainly due to its physical size. Im sure it was designed around a 5 foot person. So would a bigger 250 keep me happy for years to come? Maybe a VTR250 or the Hyosung 250 version(Comet?). Im 5'8" and 100kg. Yes I know. Less pies needed.

Want to just blast around on it and do trips away like the upcoming Northland ride.

It's funny you mention that, I was thinking the same thing to myself today, "will i want or need a bigger bike"? Of course I'm still 'very' new to this whole Motorbike riding scene, but I love my girl(bike) to bits. I guess time will tell. Still I can't believe that you ( a guy) doesn't want the biggest gruntiest bike available to him. You must be VERY secure of your own masculinity, hahaha "GO YOU"

Hyobags are big person 250s with plus you can alter peg positions. Another one to consider is the GSX250. Of course there's a whole host the 4 cylinder ones-Hornet,Bandits et el.

NEED..... no

Want..... yes, eventually

FWIW I started my adv riding on a 650 then got a 750 'cause I thought I needed one, Now my ride of choice is a 350 , slowerer and less comfortable, but cheaper to run and far easier to pick up when it falls over which it does now and again

Well I went out yesterday for the first time on my trail bike. I went nuts on it. And had a stack of fun. So that can my main man toy.

Would rather the v-twin I think. Just dont like reving the nuts off a motor.

have you ridden bigger bikes at all?

[EJK]

Get a Hayabusa.

No. I happy with the power I have, just dont want to be cramped up on a small bike.

Have wondered what a Hyo GT250r would be like with a GT250 top clamp and bars on.

[tigertim20]

if you are loking at a new bike, Id suggest at least trying some out, even if just to seek vindication for your assertion that 250cc is enough for you. You might find that a few extra cc does actually offer you some benefits that you hadnt thought of. sometimes you ride a bike you have no interest in, and it really surprises you

Sounds like you need a Harley

[BigAl]

You need to try a bigger bike, as they say " absolute power corrupts"

Dude
I had a CBR 250R, Raped it like a Pedo fresh out of jail,
had it for 6 months, went looking for a bigger bike, Rode a VFR 400, an 88 I think, doesnt matter,
about 2 weeks later I got the VFR 400 NC30, and sold the 250, once that bigger bike is in your veins, youll never shake it,
Im now on a Hyosack GT650R, I kinda miss the V4, the Vtwin doesnt feel like it wants to Rip you off the seat and kill you at any possible chance, but that aside, I not only have the motorbike itch, I have the power bug.

Need a bigger bike - No.
Want a bigger bike - Yes.
Get a bigger bike, Need an even bigger bike - Fuck yes.

Well I do get that. And this is just a random thought.

But I can power trip my brains out on a Trail bike. 50kph on a dirt bike is huge fun. And only just starting into it.
