I rode my 250 from TX to VA. Loved the ride and the little ninja did just fine all though the constant running at high rpm to match I40 traffic took some getting used too.
(Anyone live in Memphis? What is that Glass Pyramid about? Big thing. You can see it as you cross the Mississippi River coming into TN from AR.)
Long story short, I decided I really wanted a larger bike (I am 6'1, 200lbs) but still stay in the same playground the 250 offered.
I picked up a 2008 Metallic Diablo Black 650R. Bike has 4000 miles on it and has been taken care of. I bought it for $4500. The original owner added Pazzo levers, Progrip tank protector, progrip handle bar grips, rear tire hugger, and rear fender eliminator. Oh and he ditched the stock bars for clip-ons.
I will take photos later today and post them up. I will continue to hang out (lurk mostly) which is what I have pretty much done since I got here anyway.
P.S. My son was pissed when I sold the 250 ($3500). He was really hoping I would give it to him.
