Walk into any large, multi-line dealership and see how many mighty-mites you can find. Ask the sales team if they have a few 250s to look at, and theyll likely show you two, 50cc mini-motos or maybe a pastel-colored scooter.

But if youre an urban dweller with little need to travel the Super Slab, or play Ricky Racer on the weekend, and have an eye toward fuel economy and low MSRPs, then, like us, youll agree the little bikes deserve more time in the limelight.

There should be more videos about beginners bikes -a thing very important if you ask me.

I'd buy a used jap bike any day before I'd trust that chinese stuff !

[MrJumbolegz]

I just purchased two VFMoto V3s one for me and the other for my son who is 17 years old. I drive mine to work every day and my boy rides to school(when it is nice out) with nearly 3K miles on mine I can say that this bike is a blast to ride. I just sold my BMW R1100RS and do not miss it. The V3 turns a lot of heads and you have to answer a lot of questions but who cares.The top end is around 80 mph you can cruise all day at 70mph easy. What other bikes in this class you can buy two for $5000.00

@crazyidiot101 I've put 20,000klms on my Hyosung GT250R and it's been an awesome bike 99% of the time, that said, I can't wait to buy something faster and more reliable ie. CBR600RR etc.

that V3 is horrific

[BarryEssex]

What a good review! A bit more detailed and longer would've been bliss.

[bluemotion1905]

wtf suzuki!

[MyJunior1975]

@FuckCheaChineseGirls I actually rode the Suzuki 250cc earlier this year, and it holds up pretty well for a beginner's bike. The problem is that the motor sounds a little clunky at times, but overall, it's not bad.

[FuckCheaChineseGirls]

Ninja and Suzuki is ok but Chinese bike looks very ugly.
