I always thought a 250 would be fun... - Page 2

I thought about getting one awhile back. I even had one held for me. I'm just too damn big for one, so I got the vf500f.

My brothers friend got the CBR250R. The thing is a thumper of an engine and it looks like a baby Viffer 1200, which I like.

I've seen a ton of the CBR250s around campus. They look awesome!

I wouldn't mind having the CBR 250RR

My neighbour had a CBR125 and recently upgraded to the 250. He's about my size (~6 Feet tall, ~200Lbs). I dont know how he got by with that 125.

Now, that RR is the kind of 250 I would love to have.

Jeebus...that thing is redonkulously loud.
I don't believe you'd be able to give the cruiser guys a hard time for loud pipes any more riding something like that.

I think it said a custom exhaust on his video info. More like customly loud...

Seriously... that's like someone had a D&D on there and said "You know, guys, I'm really liking this new pipe... but do you think we could make it just a little bit louder? I mean, sure, my eardrums are bleeding, but I'm afraid we might not be able to hear it if we're on the road with top fuel drag cars."

For a second, when I first saw it, I thought it was a F1 motor crammed into a CBR600. If I remember correctly, they can get to 20,000 RPMs.

I'm tempted to play with one of these after I get a car, or maybe I should just skip the car and go for another bike? I don't like winter though.. hmm..

Probably a good thing they aren't available here. I think it's been well established that bad ideas are well liked on TWFix and a light weight high reving 250 with a mentality of "it's just a 250" would probably result the loss of 3/4 of TWFix.
