after all of this and you ended up with a cbr250?

I guess as long as you are happy with it, who cares what others think

Yeah, I thought at least he was getting the CBR 300, but I guess it's not out yet.

Yep. Just rode it to work this morning.

I'm in the breaking-in phase, so not opening it up as much as I'd like, but it's a ton of fun!

It's actually a very similar feel and weight to the Ninja 250, except that it's got more of a pick-up-and-go feel in the lower and mid-range. And given that 99% of my ride is commuting, that's great.

Yes, I might shake my head wistfully at what might have been if I ever go canyon carving this summer, but I've gone exactly one time in the last 6 years, so I don't think it will be a frequent regret.

I really prefer the look of the Ninja 300, but I prefer even more having a nice-looking bike that's brand new, fun to ride, and an extra grand in cash lying around!

Don't worry guys, knowing myself, I will be on the merry-go-round again next year.

Yep. I can actually flick it a little better than the Ninja. Maybe it's the lighter weight or slightly shorter wheelbase. Who knows.
