Thanks Chris. That's a really awesome response. It has raised one more question for me though. I've heard some riders here mention that the 250R isn't that well balanced; that it has too much weight on the rear wheel in the standard riding position (I think maybe Alex.S said this). Couple that with the fact that throttle roll on during a corner can put a lot less force on the rear wheel and suspension that, say, a 600 SS could, makes me wonder: does the 60/40 weight thing apply on a 250R?
I haven't ridden that many bikes, so I'm not a great judge of this, but if I sit back on the seat the front end on my 250R does feel light to me.
