250s' value decrease

[NOMIS]

Calm down. The 150kw/tonne equation adds 90kg onto your bikes weight to allow for riders weight. That leaves you with a huge 120kw/tonne for your bike - well under the limit. It also means my 350cc suzuki goose is learner legal with only 102kw/tonne. In fact, the only 250cc bikes that will be ruled out for learners are the 2-strokes.

well ok that sounds a lil better, so i can have a 600cc hornet now yeeeyah haha!. hopefully. not sure what they are to a tonne. man just spent alot of money on my hornet so hopefully i can get a 600cc and swap the parts.

Not a hope.

A 600 honda hornet has 260kw/tonne so a bit too much, but you could get most 4-stroke twins up to 500cc (ie GS500 121kw/tonne) or 4-stroke singles up to around 650cc (most big motards).

Maybe you could get a brain transplant at the same time.

i'll just keep my Zeal until I have have my full and if its not worth fuck all at the time......meh i'll commute on it during the week and save the "big" bike for the weekends. Problem solved.

I doubt that FXR or GN will be affected much at all.

Those who but them at present don't buy them because they want "the absolute fastest bike I can legally ride" anyway.

Look at it this way. The same people that now buy a FXR or GN instead of an RGV250 or ZXR250 will still buy one for the same reasons instead of a GS500 or whatever.

It will be the 250s that have sold at a high premium becuase of the "must have 200kph and will pay any amount of money for it in a 250" that will take a hit.

Hmm. Yippee! It has just struck me that my 400 will be easier to sell as I'll be able to sell it to newbies. I happy now.

[James Deuce]

I'd be hard pressed to think of a more n00b friendly 400.

[DMCD]

What kind of larger capacity cruisers would be eligible do you think? something with a nice sound, since my GF told me my bike sounds like a scooter I've fallen out of love with it.

well my bike not a sprts 250 but does that 200 mark to, nor am i a speedracer onmy bike I just like the streetfighter stlying and the riding position, my bikes still going to be in the categorie that gets hit hard big loss on money for me im expecting. Also there nothing on that list that is in the same class as my bike.
mine pretty close to the 150/kw tonne mark havnt qorked it out just off the top of my head i think it in the margin of 135kw/tonne

Tui that. I got my RGV up to 190 and that was it.

[NOMIS]

and what year was it?
im not saying my bike a speed machine at all but it was well past 180 and took a friging long time to get there and a hell of a lot of umm motorway ( i mean race track ) ive had this convo before with other people so just going to leave it there, and yes it was next to my mate in a sti recorded on a rsm.
his was speed cut at 200 on the dot and I moved on. And yes everything is faster than my bike on the m.way I no this.
Any way pointless argument. yet to loose against another 4stroke 250 and come on like everyone says its just a hornet.

[PJ_tpl]

Yo guys. I know this hornet very well, and have seen it smoke '08 ninjas, zxr's, cbrr's (not mc22's yet :P ), another hornet, and hold its ground with an aprillia, pretty sure it was a 150 though. From the lights its been well quicker than sti's, evos, skyline, integras and more. Soon as simon bought the bike, all the boys wanted to give it a go in their cars lol.. But he out accelerated every one.. And i know si's never been stupid enough to race on the motorway though, because he will DIE as hes a very impatient rider. VERY impatient.

Id vouch for this car with my pants down, and im pretty sure you can sell it for what its worth man. IF YOU GET SILENCERS because its TOO LOUD!! Anyway thats my 2cents.
