Default Is / Was the CBR250R your first motorcycle?

In some parts the CBR250R is considered a "beginner" motorcycle, yet more than a few experienced riders have chosen to ride one. Is it, or was it your first? Or did you or could you come to the CBR250R after owning previously owning other machines?

I have owned several motorcycles. I have not owned a CBR250R yet, but reckon I might in future. I did own a CB250RS, in many respects an earlier incarnation, for several years (until some thief took a fancy to it).

Nope, it's my third, and by far my favorite.

It is my first, and it shows. At 4k miles and clutch is already slipping lol.

I should take the advanced riding courses.

This one popped my cherry. Currently just over 5000 miles in 7 + months and I still feel I'm on still on the steep learning curve. This little gem allows me to experience motorcycle riding on what I consider the best motorcycle available for my needs. It is my commuter bike and my fun weekend ride.

Number 12 for me; makes me grin every time I ride it!

(Of course, each other motorcycle did that for me too.)

It's the smallest and best at MPG of any of them . . . .

May not be you. Make sure the clutch is adjusted properly.
