I just have a lot of trouble getting my short legs over one so I'm not sure which kind I would like. Any suggestions. I think Yamaha just came out with a 250 motard, Just wish it didn't have a 35+ inch seat height.
I know a guy on this board selling just such a machine.

Dunno... just got my object of lust two weeks ago, so I'll be content for a couple years at least.

I probably will be in the market two years from now but if I were to buy one today, my top choice at the moment would be a CBR1K in the red\silver color scheme.

I'm seriously considering a Ninja 650R. Horsepower doesn't interest me as much anymore, as does maneouverability. It would be nice to have a mid-displacement flickable bike that I could swap bodywork on for the odd track day, rather than having two separate bikes that I have to store and do upkeep on. OTOH I kinda like scaring supersport riders on my old POS FZR400
