assuming that the bike is past the break in period I'd say #1!

9k in first isn't that hard to get to on the n250. Though I would say that you shouldn't be attempting to ride the bike in ways that make you uncomfortable. I'd take the bike somewhere where you can practice take offs safely and get used to reving the bike up that much.

Until you are comfortable and in control of the bike I'd say you should buy mesh riding gear and wait for the three lights. Especially if you feel skweemish about accelerating in a congested on/off ramp setting. This means you are having to focus too much on controlling the bike and might miss that cager changing lanes w/o a blinker while texting, eating, and watching the news on his dash board T.V.

just my 2 cents.
