i have never seen a guy riding one of those. only women. they are very small. hope your not very tall. i had a girlffiend back in the 90s that had one and i look like a money fukin a football when i sat on it. it will be fun to ride until others on their 900+'s start fukin with ya lol. and they will. use it to learn real quick and get at least a 600. oh and i have seen some decent older 600s for $1000 -1400.

Is that ride a quarter or 50 cents?

Yea I might get a 600 eventually. But I just want to get a feel for riding and doing it safely before I up my engine size. I could really care less what everyone on here feels about it, just wanted to share as I know some would be interested. I bet 99% of these guys commenting have never even ridden a 250.

Why would you list BigBangTheory as your boyfriend in your signature? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

because he likes to ride on the back of my 636. I hart him.

I have owned a 250 dirtbike but not a streetbike. My friend had a green ninja 250 and it sounded like a weed wacker lol

I've never ridden one, I started on a 600, but I commend you for starting out in your budget as well as in your abilities. It's good to start slow, just remember, once you DO get a 600 - the handling/riding is completely different. Do not go out balls to the wall off the getgo, get used to it first.

And stunting is where you're going to **** up man, be careful.

Then I realized oh yeah, I'm 5'10 245lbs, to hell with that haha

I have ridden a 250cc, they are peppy and a good starter bike. But i chose to start with a 636. Then moved up to a ZX-10. Just couldn't see spending the cash on a 250 that i wouldn't enjoy after 2 weeks.

I learned on a 1600 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

Talk about scary... wish I knew someone that had a 250 to learn on, would've been much easier and alot less stressful. I say good buy op! If I had the opportunity I would have bought it also.

Sounds like the OP is going to use this bike daily. It's a great bike to learn on. A lot easier to get comfortable on a bike this size than something bigger. Ride it the rest of the year and keep saving. Sell it next spring and get something bigger.

Yeah my first bike was a 2001 gsxr 1000 stupid choice for a first bike well for a 19 year old that had no self control, but to be honest the brand new 250's here in Denver sell all day long for 2,800 and look cool as hell. I’ll attach a pic

P.s. still selling the baby mamas bike, 2003 R6

see link and I’ll post a pic of this bike too
