If I didn't get 10+ years out of tracking a well maintained Ninja 250 or cbr250, or any similar low hp utilitarian Japanese motorcycle I'd call it a lemon.

That first scratch or scuff on a new bike is like a stab to the heart. I just reassure myself by saying now my bike has a new distinguishing feature.

Since this thread has turned into a confessional for stories of dropping our bikes in parking lots, I would like to confess. I dropped my bike while parking it at work. I got off, both feet on the...

Upgrading to a ... no! No!

Not going anywhere. My bike still makes me giggle when I wring it out and costs next to nothing to run.

I've only dropped one bike, ever, and it was my CBR250R. This was about 6 weeks ago, I wasn't riding it at the time and the battery wasn't even in it. I keep the bike in the garage, behind my SUV....

There is no "inherent design issue" with the side stand on the CBR250R. Motorcycle manufacturers, like Honda, don't just take an educated guess at how long the side stand should be, or what the...

Glad you or the bike did not have too much damage. I've noticed that the brakes on these bikes are very sharp and need to be squeezed rather than grabbed. Not something you tend to do in a panic....

Re: Nothin' to be proud of . . .

Hope your wrist feels better and no permanent damage, parts on the bike can be replaced.... You can't.

I have to park the same way, but typically I just hop off in front of the spot then walk the bike in. Doing so not only prevents a drop, but also lets me 'whittle' the bike back and forth to get it...
