I plan on getting a CBR 600rr when I upgrade. Most of my riding is 100 mile round-trips on the interstate to school. I have not had any issues with the 250 on the interstate; while it has sufficient power for the interstate, it doesn't have that 'rocket ship' type of power a supersport has, if it ever needs to be called upon :P
I am not in any hurry to upgrade, and it won't be particularly soon. I'll be joining the Air National Guard soon, so I'll use part of my signing bonus to buy one out-right. |

Thanks, That's a really "nice" Ninja you have! Do you have a photo thread for it? I like to modify bikes and would like to see what you have done to yours. Might modify my Ninja 250 when I finish another project (street tracker) and borrow some of your mod ideas, if you don't mind! ![]() ![]() |

A zx636 will probably be my next move up, the 2013s are awesome, but an 05-06 is more likely what i'd buy.

In another year or two I'd like to get a Bonneville. Don't think I'll get rid of the 250 though.

I put Honda although there's a variety of bikes I want to move up to. Only reason I refuse to go up to a kawi is because the bike guru's suggested I try some other brand flavors.

Not a lot of SV650 fans eh? I upgraded to one, crashed into a deer, and got another one. Good, solid, easy bikes to work on. Plenty of aftermarket parts with a HUGE following. You should check them out.

I was dead set on picking up an SV but found a great deal on a Daytona 675. In a way, I regret not buying a naked SV, as it really would be a much better bike for the street in my opinion.

Looking at:
WR250X KTM Duke 390 Ninja 300 Probably go motard. Easy to ride, snappy, fun, and MX bikes are what I know how to ride. I WILL keep the 250 unless I go with 300 or Duke. I'll never go 600cc or larger. |

I ended up staying with Kawasaki and getting a 2005 636. I got it more because of the looks than brand loyalty though.

First sportbike I owned was an SV650. Really nice bike. Liked SV engine so much, when I was looking for a sport touring bike, bought the Vstrom DL 650 with the SV650 engine. Replaced the original 19" front wheel with a 17" SV650 front wheel & fender on my Vstrom, too.

Step up to a 600 cc bike with comparable horse power and you will be looking at closer to $12.000 rather than the $10,000 for the Street Triple R |

I do want another bike for long trips across multiple states though, looking to pick up an FZ6R used for a cross country trip Atlanta<->California next year. Prices are less than half the Triple. |

Yep
I love my Street, but I am sending the seat out this Winter for a little work. It is not what I would call comfortable much beyond the 2 hour mark.
