Yeah, I just moved back from Albuquerque, NM. Perfect riding weather all the time. Now I'm back in the east coast, the winter is killing me.

Haha, well. I'm originally from Jersey, moved to PA with family. Move in with my aunt & uncle in NM for work. Now I'm back in PA, but yeah. When I was living there, met a lot of bikers out there. It's the perfect place to ride. It barely rained & it's not humid like here on the east coast & the temp was perfect everyday.

Ello Petey. 250s and friendly people is just about all you'll find here. Unless you count an answer to any question you might have lol. The people here are obsessed. I think they did a giveaway for straightjackets last year . Easton isn't far from me, about an hour and a half. Us PA riders gotta put together a group ride sometime. Just pick the middle of the state and meet there lol. Anywayz, welcome to the forum. Glad you found us

It's been talked about a lot and the 300 is definitely an all around improvement, the question is whether it's worth the extra money and to me it is since I commute on it daily. If I have my way I'll break 50-100k miles before handing it down to my brother I intend to keep it for a long time so even though I may not mod it often the mods will count when I do. |

Sounds great ! I was thinking of either giving my 250r after I grow out of it to my little brother & get a 300 or go bigger with a 650 ! But I'm still on training wheels, haha. & yeah, insurance is really good on I guess lower cc bikes. Glad you're happy with the 300, I've heard some bad comments about it compared to a 250. That there isn't much difference & some just go for the cheaper end (Ninja 250). |

As I said it's a matter of whether or not the extra performance and features are worth it to you over getting a 250 dirt cheap. Honestly if you only intend to ride it for a year or two then move up then by all means get the 250. But, if you intend to keep the bike for longer (assuming nothing drastic happens) then the 300 is probably the better deal. A lot of people are a bit bummed by the recalls and a few minor problems (mostly with the fairings being loose) so they'd rather get the tried and true 250 over the new and still a bit unstable 300.

You can still take it from out of state in PA but I don't think it will carry over towards a different states licenses but still free, I was actually thinking of taking the advanced course in PA.

So if I have a friend who lives in MD and doesn't want to take the msf due to the price he could take it in PA for free even though it won't give him his license?

Yes ! I did take the safety course. Actually took the course in 2011, but never got on a bike until I bought my 250 last year, barely got to ride. From moving a lot & all. So, I'm still fairly new to riding & my skills are not great. Only been driving manual for 6 months now in a car. On 2 wheels ? About 3 months experience .& Ken, no name yet. Lol.
