    Not just for beginners. In the hands of an expert, a bike like this can be endless fun on the backroad twisties; in a way that bigger more powerful bikes simply are not.

    I've had my cbr250r for 3 years now, lots of fun, 65-100 mpg. Ive put 24k+ miles on mine now. Ive taken 300+mile trips on it. I've put a toolbox on the back, replaced the 14T front sprocket with a 15T sprocket on it to reduce the rpms(it just makes me feel better on the freeway, but I never come close to redlining it). Whenever I think of upgrading ( like to a cb500x) I keep thinking about the incredible MPG's it gets. Its like a sport,fun,utility bike for me..... IDK, I keep asking myself; whenever I think of upgrading, is it me or somebody else who wants me to upgrade.???

    • @onseki1774
      @onseki1774 3 года назад +6

      It's peer pressure making you want to upgrade. I love mine. There's moments where I get mad that the bike doesn't go above 80-82, but it's quick enough 0-65 mph that I don't even care. Biggest longevity thing with these are all the poorly thought out body panels I think. For a starter bike it's incredibly unfriendly to being dropped, the silver front cowl wings are essential to the design but are incredibly fragile

    My CBR250R is a garage rescue. A little wrenching needed to bring it back out of seven years of unmothballed hibernation, and it's now in the process of a combination dual sport/naked street fighter conversion, all for under $1K including new tires. I quit riding after an altercation with a stupid deer years back an am re-entering motorcycling. This is the bike made for my return.

    Sold my exact model and color 2012 same color…a few months ago to a kid as his first bike for 2000. Bike only had 13,000 miles on it. It was immaculate.
    I’m almost 56 and now ride a Boom Vader 125 to zip to work on or around town with my son for fun. Just got parts for new carb etc. I felt like I needed to have a smaller bike to be safer. God is good!

    I've ridden for over a decade with a lot of miles and riding year-round in any and all conditions. I'm spoiled to riding 1liter+ super sports but honestly I can have just as much fun on a little 250.. I've not tried the cbr 250 but ridden a few others including the little rebel. I think pride is the issue. I want to be seen riding super bikes and having people look and know I'm experienced... but the truth is, pride is dangerous and it ruins the enjoyment. When I get out there and just ride, I have fun on a little 250. Pride (and showing off) are probably the top killers in riding. Obviously lack of experience is way up there, but I think pride is equal

    I've had one for about 7 months so far and put 5000 miles on it, it's my daily vehicle unless it's raining. I don't have the money for a real bike so I'll just keep enjoying this one until it requires some maintenance I don't want to do. Insurance was 75 bucks for a whole year and each fill up is like $6, just can't beat it. Even if I got another bike this one is so cheap to own I'd just keep it

    I’ve riding a few bikes before but it’s been a long time ago. I want to get back to riding again but I’m so nervous to get on one. That’s why I was looking at a 250 just like this so I wouldn’t have too much power and lay it down. I’m still very much a noob. The bike I taught myself the basics on was one of those mini pocket rockets. A 110cc four speed manual that weighed 150 lbs and would go 55 with my fat ass on it. 6’1” 245.

      I had the CBR250R for about 1,000 miles and I enjoyed it. It wasnt perfect but I liked how it rode.
      When you take a passenger you do notice the difference in power and acceleration, which is why I went for the Vulcan S.
