thanks triple Jim....
I'm not real concerned about the bottom end , yah no doubt you'll loose some of the grunt.... but I was raised on machines that didn't go over 5,000 RPM
red line was 6k and you did NOT get too close to that....
so cruising at 8k RPM makes me a nervous person .... the bike can handle it ....
but can the owner ? LOL my 30 minute ride the other day taught me that the handle bars are way too low and the gearing far to low to be a relaxing bike to ride... but it sure excels in the corners !
I have a CSC RX4 coming when they get them in that will be my cruiser
this 250R is for the back road twisties and I think it's perfect for that... all except the gearing....
now if I can just get the turn signals working right ! ...LED indeed !
lol.....
