I dont at all actually, thats the one MAJOR downfall for all crotch rockets imo but I assumed because you mentioned your trip you were comparing the two… The 250 wouold get extremely misreble VERY quick as its a steady slow speed at all times… BTW, How was the , majority of your trip not on highways?
my ending statement - Im not a die hard rider… “gear” to me consists of a helmet and goggles… I dont push my bike to its extreme limits, I dont corner at max speeds… I ride my bike EXAACCTTLLLYYY like Iyla wants to, occasional commuter and weekend fun toy… The 250’s fun didnt last long for me, however for a legit “racer” I COULD see having endless fun if that makes sense… Iylas going to ride the bike normal and driving a 250 “normal” sucks… thats all
