Are CBR250s a good first bike

Just wondering what you Guys think of the Honda's CBR250'S any help would be
great,

Cheers,
Matt

 

Is it just me, or is this groundhog day?


CBR250, I dunno. CBR250RR, well, I swapped my ZZR250 for one for a
quick scoot through the Nasho about a year ago, and I didn't want to
give it back when I was done. For a learnerbike, the RRR was fun. It
was the only Honda product that I've ever ridden/driven that I
didn't not like.

Having said that, I don't know jack about them technically, so even
if they're fun, they might still suck.

as a bike I think they are fine for learners
what will blow your mind is the insurance

ring up Western QBE and/or Swan and get a quote for full comp on

CBR250
CBR250r
CBR250rr
ZX2r
ZZR250
GPX250
Across
VTR250
Spada

good education exercise

Want more,

You import a 15-18 year old motorcycle that's been sitting on a dock in
Japan for years, stripped into tidily bits packed with a million others, put
a bike together out of the tidily bits, you respray it, you compliance it
as a 2005 model with low k's even though the only thing low k's might be the
odometer, then you wack on a price tag to rival new bikes..

For an over rated bike that you will probably crash, smash, blow a piston
and then sell for less money than you paid for it.

Why not buy something locally delivered, why buy a bling bling bike just
because everybody else sez so, the 15% more power and handling will be
wasted compared to other models, because ya cant ride yet..

Buy something lowk's less than 5 years old, pref nekkid as fairings exy,
then invest in some decent riding gear and a few bike courses, ride at 100%
of your ability, use 80% of the bike, instead of riding at 35% of your
ability and 50% of the bike..

n dont bring up 2 smokes, they give you cancer

 

Uhm Mad, I think he said CBR250 - ain't they locals?

GB, methinks it's the ones with all the extra 'R's that are imports???

 

I take it you've never ridden a Postie?

 

You're right, I haven't had the pleasure. I have driven a Nissan
Micra though and so I'm fully prepared to accept that the Postie
would be infinitely more fun than the zzr/gpx250, the cbr250 or
any of the other standard learner choices however.

I've ridden a postie and I can say that CBR250RRs are gutless pieces of
shit. Happy to clear that up for you.

Most of the single R models I've seen are imports. But for the RR's, there's
a good mix of import and factory released models about. The imports will be
marked with "IMPORT" stamped into the V.I.N.

 

Pat's hiding in the shed, about now, trembling at the thought of getting
sprayed by everyone!

 

It's one of those pirate bikes...
