Maybe you need to re-read my OP. I dont want to race 1lt bikes. 120kph is fine for me.

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.

Of course we need bigger bikes....

however......I get the CBX250 when you get a bigger bike, errr because I like the little thing

, and well i'd fit it

and pies are good for you...you are being to hard on yourself...!

you worry to much, i am a fairly skinny chick (currently at my heaviest.....bout 60 kg - its the two pies a day diet, and no more smokes ), so me, the transformer and a full tank come to about 200 kg....sofar we have not been "blown over" while riding

and when its windy and the parking spot is not sheltered I tend to park elsewhere.

a scorpio is a somewhat plastic looking bike (its those graphics.....seriously), but much fun in the city, cheap as and easy to ride.....

give your bike another week

That's what I was asking about. Will a heavier bike avoid getting tipped over by wind when parked, for instance on the centre stand?

I couldn't agree more on both counts. I hate those graphics stickers and it is very fun, quick and easy for the city [although on the motorway it's love-hate so far]...

Ummmm, before I get used to it or before I get rid of it and get something else? LOL!

As I said, just ride it. Dont over think it. You dont have your 250 for long so use the time to learn. Coming to SASS tomorrow?

I will as long as project XR is going to plan.
