Fantastic bikes. Oleg on here has one. Rocketpunch used to have one, went to a few track days on it, learned how to ride and moved on. ---

I learned how to ride on a 2008 250R. Not a fast bike by any means but you will learn the basics of riding and be able to power through corners because of how small/light the bike is. ---

Mine is naked and with aftermarket digital speedo it only goes to about 85-90, stock speedo is a little optimistic. You’ll pass cars fine on roads, but highway can get dicey. Don’t bother fiddling with the motor on it, it goes about as fast as it ever will unless you drop a few grand to really modify it. That’s a few grand better spent on a bigger bike. Just ride it the way it is and buy something else later, unless it’s modded or crashed you’ll sell it for what you bought it. ---

It’s a 14 second bike, about as fast as new Si Civics, who the owners consider race car fast. So no slow dogs. ---

Used to own a 04, personally I love it as a learn bike and a commuter not to mention for the price I got. Insurance is cheap and I often clock around 240 miles on a tank of fuel. I liked it so much I actually would like to get another one (may be much cheaper) as a pure commuter for the summer. Take it to the track and you will have a lot of fun on that bike, just remove the center stand and the kick stand if you can when you take it to the track… > [@TO: Fat guy with green teeth at S&R Cruise Night](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/to-fat-guy-with-green-teeth-at-s-r-cruise-night/30842/25): > > think ill be able to past cars on the road and stuff? Bike should have enough power, unless you are like 300 lbs. The only advice I have for you is the stock tires are bit iffy, and you will be amazed how a set of Pirelli Sport Demon will transform the bike. With a 130 rear vs the 120 stock you will also loose bit of trail for sharper turn in. Enjoy the bike! :clap P.S. Wear gear! ---
