hi all

BradtheAg · February 13th, 2009, 02:11 PM

just joined the forum today. i'll hopefully be a 250R owner in the near future. right now just gathering info so i can start riding as safely as possible.

i have driven a 2002 corvette z06 for the past few years and recently i bent a valve in the first cylinder and blew out the synchro in second gear. when i got the quote back on how much the repairs were going to be i decided to find a cheaper toy and now here i am!

Mis shift!!???

Aloha and welcome, Brad.

Hopefully we can help you in your decision making process... but don't be surprised when you end up with a green 250.

mahalo

pick whatever color you like... they are all the same, except some are faster (the green ones) than the others!

Well not really - the green/white/black 2009 Special Edition's are really the absolute fastest because the have all the best qualities of the green and black.

And welcome to the Ninja Asylum

Which is helpful to allow them to barely keep the red ones in sight as the red machines accelerate away into the distance...
