Default Hi from CT - Trading in a 2010 600rr for a 2013 250r

I've been riding motorcycles for about 8 years and currently own a HD Dyna Low Rider and a CBR600RR.

I realized I haven't really taken advantage of the 600rr's capabilities over the past 2 years and I find myself on the Harley more often.
Hopefully the 250r will serve its purpose for me as a fun, fuel efficient bike that can still whip around corners.

Plus the savings in insurance and the extra money to customize the 250r is appealing.

A pic of my 2010 600rr.

Welcome and for a long time, that's been awhile since I heard someone wanted a 250, rather than a 600!! Most riders go the opposite way!!

Yup, that's what I'm seeing here and reading on the 600rr.net. Hopefully I'll enjoy the 250. The lack of time for track days (at least right now) made me consider the less expensive and more commuter friendly/efficient (6 mile ride to work) 250r.
