So nearly a month later, this bike is a dream. It was, in fact, in perfect condition. I rode it all over campus at Pitt for a couple weeks and now that I'm home on break from a couple weeks, I'm ready to tear up a bit of the back roads up north of the city where I'm from. I'm am forever in love and couldn't be happier about my beautiful 250. Feels good to officially live life on the road with two less wheels than I ever have had before
P.S. - Have done a couple trips on 79 (65 mph limits) and got it up to about 80 on them. SCARY. There were a few points it seemed like I was gunna go off the road >.< You really have to put some force into it to get around those bends in the road through the mountains. Still some of the most enjoyable adventures yet...
