Everyones saying cheaper cheaper cheaper, well i feel i have a very desirable 250cc bike at the mo and its fackin terrible on gas my FZR400 got about an extra 150k's per tank and only had an extra liter on my 250's tank, and from what ive read and heard about 9/10 600cc bikes with 4 times the power of my 250 get alot better milage...

I love my 250 but in all seriousness... Its just not enough and I cant wait to upgrade to atleast a 600cc.

Ps. No one likes sitting their little 250 on 16thousand RPM just to have enough pull up a hill in a head wind to overtake a truck doing 100 on the motorway.

Drop a couple gears (and cylinders) and you'll be fine mate.

Plenty.
Dude, we're talking about a fellah of adult proportions looking at buying a real world VTR or a Hyosung, he's obviously not some 55kg kid keen on wringing the living shit out of a race rep hand grenade, so your argument is moot.
But seeing as you brought it up, yes some 250s can "do" a decent speed. Eventually. Wind anything up for long enough with the right gearing and it will go reasonably fast at some point in the future. Look at what Burt Munro managed to achieve with what he had to work with. I bet his bike would have been shithouse for overtaking too.
To resort to a cliche and only because it is so relevant to real world riding, there is no replacement for displacement.

I'd rather ride my 600 than any 250. I'm not worried about ultimate corner speed, which doesn't even happen in the real world.
Heck, I'd rather have an RF900 than my tiny little 600.
250's are fun, I spent 3 and 1/2 years on just one of mine, covered 130,000km on it. Would I do it again? Fuck no. The 600 isn't as good on gas, but it's better to ride in every respect.

Plus, I can fall off it real well

Good for you

I would join in with your dick swinging, but clearly my post was a piss take.

I know its not actually 200, but thats what the speedo says. (prob closer to 180)

If mine was still on the road, in stock form, i'd give you a race around the coro any day of the week, in any weather conditions.

reality wise its probably closer to 160 right before it explodes, and from what ive seen on KB, I wouldnt race you, not for fear of losing mind. - It would just be embarassing when I piss myself from all that laughing

haha. yes more cc's just does do it better. easier to ride, they are less stressed at any speed compared to smaller bikes in the same place, long, steep hills arent as bad, they tend to be physically larger and thus more comfortable, they are more likely to have suspension that is more adjustable allowing for a better ride, youll probably get better milage with late model bigger cc's. and when you take a fat chick home cos you're drunk and desperate, you can still do the speed limit
