richierich781 · April 21st, 2010, 01:17 AM

I traded in my 09 N250 couple of days ago for 2010 fz6r. Im still gonna hang around here due to all the great peeps on this site plus my bro still has his 250, that way i can keep him upto date on some things for it.

Good choice... I was seriously looking at purchasing 1 of these but added a cruiser style to my stable for the longer rides, but I do like the Fizzers.

Rich,
When you do get some time on the bike let us know your thoughts. Obviously more power, but maybe type of power, feel turning, feel on the highway etc. Thanks and good luck.

Flashmonkey · April 21st, 2010, 09:32 AM

Nice colour scheme!!! +1 on the review as well.

Cedilla · April 23rd, 2010, 06:05 PM

The dealer was trying to push one of those on me hard when I was buying my 250, some guy had it for 2 weeks and traded it in, and they wanted like 5400 for it.

Great looking bike. Is your bro a member of this forum?

Looks really good in teh raven with the gold! How does the seating position compare with the Ninja?

ninjabrewer · April 24th, 2010, 08:50 AM

Sweet, I road one of those at the LB bike show last year. Nice riding bike and it is on my short list.

well my bro is just an onlooker and just goes through me.

Mini Review (first impression)

The riding position very similar if not the same as the ninjette. The main thing that i like is the handle bar is adjustable, you have the option to move it forward about 3/4 of an inch.

I finally got to take her around for a short spin. very torquey (i dont know if thats a word, lol) in the low end and mid range. Also took her on the freeway, very stable, dont have to really fight to keep it steady fighting the wind (it just happen to be a windy day) and more than enough power to easily make a pass. My only draw back is the shifter, im not sure how to say this, but its very light, you have to give it a good kick to make sure your on the next gear (i assume since its new that i have to break it in). I didnt really open her up on the freeway since im still in my break in period but @ 6000 rpm i was traveling 66 mph. Cornering compared the n250 is very similar, its very flickable to my surprise. thats it for now, this is basically a first impression.

more to come when i get more seat time.
