Ya true not everyone wants to get the most out of their bike.

BTW my girl can handle her 4th 750, she didnt just jump on it after 2 months of learning on a 250.

if she's tired of being left behind you should have changed your riding style to accommodate her for a while......

Clothes unwearable... Of course, I'm kidding but whatever.

The deal is the girl wanted a 600 from the start, she acquiesced and got a 250. Rode it for a month and now she wants a bigger bike. The classic scenario in these cases. I seen it online and in real life a 1000 times. A guy gets talked into a smaller bike than he wanted and ends up getting bored and buying the bike he wanted in the first place. Say it isn't so... You all point to your little cloister of e-friends from your forum and say, "See so and so kept his 250 for 3 years before getting another bike" but you totally ignore the 100s of 250s on the market from '08 and '09. Cathy lives where there are tight twisties to ride everyday, the other girl took hers to the track. I could live with an Aprillia 250 under those conditions (not the Kaw-chassis sucks balls!) Kawasaki updated the looks but no so much the performance. There are literally faster, lighter, better handling/performing scooters out there!

Yea but the hassles involved don't always offset the benefits, you know?

sure it happens alot, 100's of 250's F/S, hardly. they also fetch top dollar as long as you don't buy new........most don't get deals like your girls. hell i see the old style one still askin ~2800, isnt' that over MSRP.

ego is a bich. thats about all there is about that.

250's are fine for the streets. just ego gets in the way.

Hey, I didn't fall for anything. I think that she's stupid too. My "crime" is not "forbidding" her to do it. At about 12 am Sunday, after about 100 texts about how Ebay has her back and the auction is almost over....I finally text back "do whatever you want, I hope that it legit". My gf is a strong willed stubborn girl that does whatever she wants. Heck she came here to go to school from a smaller town where her grand pa was chief of police(ret), her uncle just retired from the State Police, her other grand pa owns a multi-million dollar company that half the family works for and her step dad is a big wig with Hatch. All of these people have offered her jobs, fucking land, to pay for school in a field that pertains to their company, etc and she decided to "do it on her own" in the medical field. ..With a LOT of help of course! She could have gone to school local and had EVERYTHING paid for and not work at all unless she wanted some easy, cushy job in the family business....
