[shit1986canniball]

oh my.. this 250 sounds so sweet with that staintune... rly nice!!enjoy!im thinking about getting me a new pipe for my old gs500,but id rather spare the cash for new bike - sv650 ))

[diannafiredal]

@shit1986canniball thanks, I do love the sound. :) I dunno if a GS500 would sound that great with a pipe anyway so yeah, you're probably best saving the cash and putting it toward your next bike. THAT bike will sound SWEET with a nice pipe, though. :D

I am getting a 2011 vtr250. Would you recommend getting a staintune fitted. And what is the costs involved in nz dollar

[diannafiredal]

@eddiedawkins1 if you want the sound and are prepared to pay for it and get no actual performance benefit then sure, I'd recommend it. But not otherwise. I'd guess it'd be $700+ NZD.

[bodyboardmylife]

was this a muffler or a full pipe and how much was it?

[diannafiredal]

@bodyboardmylife just a muffler, you cut the stock muffler off and fit this in its place. It cost about $700 inc. delivery to the shop I bought it at, from memory. They're not cheap and they give no performance benefit but I love the sound!

@bodyboardmylife just a muffler, you cut the stock muffler off and fit this in its place. It comes with hardware to fit the original muffler again if you want. It cost about $700 inc. delivery to the shop I bought it at, from memory. They're not cheap and they give no performance benefit but I love the sound!

I'm 6'2 and ridden all sorts of bikes, I love my Honda CM 250 and I have just bought my second VTR 250, this time I'm keeping it and fitting a Staintune for sure after seeing this.

[bodyboardmylife]

@bristlebrush does the bike feel too small for you?

[diannafiredal]

@bodyboardmylife sort of, but not really. The only thing about it is that if I sit nice and forward, my knees are actually gripping the trellis frame, not the tank. I haven't really encountered any actual problems due to its small size. I wonder if I tried to ride it really long distance whether I'd feel a bit folded up though. Plenty of tall people ride them with no dramas though so I'm guessing probably not - besides, that would be a very individual thing.

Getting my staintune next week, soo keen ;D

[clevername333]

vtwins sound great period. Miss my VTR. What a great little bike. Amazing handling. I could easily keep up with my buddy on his s4 duc monster 900 in the twisties, but not enough juice to keep up on any straight line. Suspension could barely take me and a passenger... My KTM duke 2 now does the job proper. hehe.
