I may test ride it then if he will let me and if it runs good I may go ahead and get it. Really wanting to find a Gixxer or CBR but all are out of my price range >.<

Yeah just keep the rpm low and you'll be ok.

Bike had been tracked and looked to be falling apart. So needless to say I didn't buy it. Going for a 250

arent you already on a 250? Your price range puts you smack dab in sv650 territory

Nah I had a 250 a while back, sold it for school money, and now I want another bike. I want something bigger than a 250 but my riding friends are telling me to get another 250. It basically all boils down to I got my old 250 when my parents didnt like me having a bike and I didnt really get to ride it on the roads all that much, more or less just like a scooter around the neighborhood. Now I am at the point where when I do get one its going to be more than just a neighborhood toy. Im thinking theyre right in the fact that I havent ridden in traffic but I rode a TTR-230 trail bike for about 3-4 years and every time I get on a 250 it just feels like the same thing only on the street.
