Or unless they had the same amount of experience as me. The way I see it, until your confident in your abilities, I would rather ride a smaller bike faster than to ride a larger bike slower.

And to the OP, there is nothing wrong starting out on the 250R. They have an awesome resale, and when your ready it’s very easy to move up.
