I got a lot of respect for those sorry 250s and 125s that have missed out on the love and affection of a caring owner but still continue to be vessels of knowledge for the ignorant. May their souls go to a better place on that fateful day when their poorly maintained and abused engines cease functioning.

EDIT:
chalk it up to martyrdom, their suffering is for the greater good and will forever have my respect. RIP to most of them...

We had 125cc eliminators. Mine stalled in a corner and sent me to the pavement. I'm lucky they didn't send me home right then.

Congrats! I had fun on the little 125 Eliminator the first day. On the second day, the instructor moved me to a Nighthawk that had seen better days. There was a lady coming in to retake and they wanted to give her an Eliminator since that was what she used before. The Nighthawk was mangled. Stuff was broken, one turn signal missing, one hanging by the wires, bent shifter, dented tank. Good enough to rock the test, though! Glad you had fun too!

OMG yes

I place where I took the MSF actually had ninja 250's. So I got to take it on the actual bike I would be riding.
