lookin' for a good 250 sportsbike..if ya don't want a 2 stroker perhaps a Honda CBR250R Fireblade or an RR Fireblade..I have owned one for over 2 years now as well as other bikes and so(10000klm's) far had very little trouble cepting a voltage reg/rec..repairs cost $99au. As for peformance nothing comes close(cept other bikes) to 140KPH and 0 to 100 in about 3.8secs.. they'll do the standing quarter in just under 14 secs if launched correctly anf will freely rev to around 18000rpm..max power is delivered at about 14000rpm but suprisingly there is some quite usable power under 6000rpm so it does make a good beginners bike..expect an early model(MC19) to cost around $4500au and the aus import (MC22) to be around $7000 although if ya shop around you will find them cheaper..look for one with under or around 30000 klm's on the clock..i have heard of them doing over 100000 without a rebuild so reliability is not an issue :blah:
