Excellent choice.

Great commuter, and absolutely a blast on the twisties. Put some new rubber on, and you're ready to go. Maintenance is relatively simple, and parts are a plenty on fleabay. If you need help w/maintenance, mods, problems, etc., check out www.svrider.com. Great board, lots of helpful info, too. I'm Looni2ns there, too.

BTW, good color choice. Blue is faster!

Cute bike, I almost got one for my GF but she really liked the look of the Baby Ninja and he 250 has got to be the least dangerous and non-intimidating "crotch rocket" ever made!!!

Oh yea, good point! Hey, remember that 50cc "crotch rocket" they used to sell... not an Aprilia, I think it started with an "R" and was street legal.

Copper is the fastest. That's why they don't make it anymore.
