My first bike

[ninja ll]

giday. i have been looking for a bike for a couple of weeks and i wanted a cbr/fzr but dad wouldnt let me get one coz of the riding position, the speed and fairings. i have just got back from chch and yesterday i bought a honda spada 250cc with 3000km on the clock, (prob not genuine- but its in mint condition) i am happy with it as it shud be good enough until i get my full. i cant wait to get it! can any one tell me anything about them, pros cons etc. it cost me $4500 from dealer.

pros: low k's, nice looking naked bike, good economy, good bike to learn on, doesn't have fairings to break.
cons: you're gonna wish you bought a cbr, resale isnt as high as cbr, bike isnt as fast as cbr, doesn't sound as good as cbr, you're on a honda, you paid too much.

should do, but depends on the size of your ass and the weight of the bike compared to the vtr250. pm or find hxc he used to own a spada and rated it very highly.
