When is Honda gonna make a CBR250? When is Yamaha going to make an r2? Come on people.

[2010MGRV]

@BarefootArizona I'm not fond of the honda myself but thats primarily because of the limitations of a single cylinder engine. I do however love that they are working on smaller bikes now and mark my words.. The small displacement market is just getting started here in North America! PS.. I agree Suzuli Rocks! :p

I think all you need is a bike that can run at highway speeds with a passanger for extended periods of time. I think that the ninja 250 is finding its place in the american market. dependable and light makes a great bike.

i bought a brand new ninja 250 and sold it 3 months after cuz it was too slow and not big enough honestly I am only 5"7 asian hope that helps

@Misiekgren 3/3.. the same top speed and its acceleration will not be much better. This is, in many cases, the reason most people will upgrade a bike. I could not see myself "upgrading" and paying that much more for a bike that I would sell in a year either way. The 250 has a solid reputation and is easy to sell when you are ready to upgrade while the 400 isnt nearly as proven. Personally the extra dough for the bigger bike with EFI doesnt really balance out in my mind.

@Misiekgren 2/3 .. The bike will sway a bit under the wind but that is the extend of the feeling you will get. I know the feeling and it is a bit scary at times, but thats all about pushing past your limits.. it will make you a better rider once you know the feel of the bike you will never have a problem with it again. Now, the 400 has fuel injection, but in all honesty its not the best. The biggest factor for me is the weight. It ways much more which means it will probably reach...

[2010MGRV]

@Misiekgren Hey Mat, I had the same debate with myself last year when I was looking at new bikes and here is what I came up with. Although the 400 has a higher power output and is fuel injected that is pretty well where the positives end. I have sat on a few 400`s and they are huge. I would equate them more to a sport tourer than a sport bike. Yes the 250 does get blown around a bit on windy days but bikes are inherently stable so you will almost never have a problem with it.

[Misiekgren]

@2010MGRV hey that was a great review man, i am however somewhat torn between this 250R and the 400R, as i spoke with a few people here and on the street, they informed me that due to the 250's light weight it can be a bit scary at times when you travel on the highways during windy conditions and i have been recommended the 400R cause of that as well as because the 400 is technologically much more advanced than the 250...which does come at a price... could you give me any pointers?
