Thank you
I intend fully to keep the 250r regardless and it's definitely a bike I'll be using to focus on cornering skills. I have never made nor will I ever make the illusion that I'm anywhere near a skilled enough rider to even claim to be close to be able to push this bike to it's limits.

I have no intention at all of ever selling this bike, so the sale value of it is irrelevant
to me. If I ever intended to sell it there's no way I'd put that kind of money into it as, as you've pointed out, it'd be a total loss.

That's great to hear, because my choice of 150 was based on
this thread.

Thank you for taking the time to reply
I don't want to get off on the wrong foot with you and I feel like, because you've encountered this discussion before, you're more inclined to be more dismissive with me in this particular case. I love my 250 to death and spending the money on a bike I love isn't about the money itself to me. I'm not looking for a return on investment, I'm looking to do it right in whatever direction I go.
For example, "The GSXR600 has a similar seat height that might be worth looking into", or, "****, why don't you look at THIS rearset? Why didn't you talk about a steering damper?"
