I thought about getting one awhile back. I even had one held for me. I'm just too damn big for one, so I got the vf500f.

My brothers friend got the CBR250R. The thing is a thumper of an engine and it looks like a baby Viffer 1200, which I like.

I've seen a ton of the CBR250s around campus. They look awesome!

I wouldn't mind having the CBR 250RR

My neighbour had a CBR125 and recently upgraded to the 250. He's about my size (~6 Feet tall, ~200Lbs). I dont know how he got by with that 125.

Now, that RR is the kind of 250 I would love to have.

Jeebus...that thing is redonkulously loud.
I don't believe you'd be able to give the cruiser guys a hard time for loud pipes any more riding something like that.

Specs say the 300 weighs the same as the 250 (around 380lbs). Hell. I'd like to see 50lbs dropped off.

The 2013 650r is tits looking but I'm really wanting the ninja 1000. Too bad they dropped the red/black color combo and I'm not seeing luggage options on the 2013. Should I just go with that there will be?

*edit*

HUGH! Wish Kawasaki would have named the ninja 1000 something else. 1 for insurance reasons and 2 for parts searching. Even if you put in the year, you get all the 80's-90's 1000R stuff and even ZR10 stuff.
