    And yes, I agree with everything you've said. If I was keen on getting a cbr600rr, i'd never truly learn what should be learnt.
    Yoda is a bit much, the real Yoda's will be grumbling over that one! I just became consumed by riding and dissatisfied if I wasn't getting better. It's an ongoing drive.

    BTW that Prudah at race evolution was the same guy I dealt with when replacing the front and one side fairing on my bike. I didn't have any trouble, but yeah, it certainly seems others have. Good write up.

If you can't fully master a 250's power in and out of corners, you're hardly going to use any additional power well.

    On top of that, I've got the perfect habitat for the cbr250 on my doorstep - the Mangamuka Gorge. Nothing remotely holds a match to the cbr250 in there, and man, there's just no fun like it. Thus, while I want a bigger bike to continue my riding progression, I'd like to keep the cbr250. There is greatness in that bike, and going from 'noobsville nothing' to knee, toe, peg and muffler scraping on that same machine really makes you feel lousy when contemplating selling to fund a bigger bike.
    Why not an RS250? Goes, stops and handles much better. Just a thought.

    Yeap. If money was no object I'd certainly nab a 250 two stroker, but as a trade off between moving to that or a 600rr I'd still go the 600. The perception being 2 strokers = more maintenance hassles, and I see mastery of a more powerful 600rr as a harder goal, which I like.

    I'd put money on a current model RR besting an MC22 in the twisties too.
    Fair enough with the maintenance. I'd love a two stroke, but it'd have to be a weekend bike...but my 600 will be my weekend bike when it's done

    Nice to be back, a great years end

    I'm with State. So far in the time i've been with them. They have paid out for a written off bike and paid for the current one to be fixed twice over. I reckon i've got my moneys worth

    I'm just sorry about everone else's premiums
