Hopefully it works out and is legit.

If so...congrats to her for finding such a steal of a deal.

My wife started on a 600 and it has been over two years and SO FAR everything has worked out 100% fine...she loves it and has logged a little over 9k miles without an issue.

We rode Saturday and again yesterday and had a blast.

Well fellas, it's a scam! Hopefully we caught it in time! I feel bad because I should have asked more questions but my gf is a very good salesperson and convinced me that it was legit. I told her from the start that I would be happy to handle it for her and to have the guy call me but she wanted to do it herself.... It looks bad but there's a chance that she didn't lose her money because the credit union didn't try to send the money until about 9:15 and she called them at 10.... I just hope that it turns out okay for her! She is so impatient! Maybe next time she'll be more inclined to listen to an old guy.

Wow. Fuck. Seriously.

An SV650 would have been a better transition......unless she only cares about looks. A GSXR-600 doesn't perform any better than an SV until after 8K rpm.

Hell she probably should have just skipped the 250 and just started with an SV.

Not making this post would have been a better choice for you.

Why do you ALWAYS tell people what they should/shouldn't do?

Because everyone has their own writing style, and this is mine. If you don't like it, putting me on ignore might be a good option.

Kerry... and others stated that she should get closer to the limit on this bike before moving on...

Yea and none of us would ever get new bikes! Shit we should wait until a car is completely undrivable before we get a new one. We should wait until our wives are totally unfuckable before we trade them in too!!!

TVs should be unrepairable. 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!
