I love to ride the CBR250R, also on longer trips, the only thing that you have to get used to is: if heave loaded, it doesn’t seem to stand very stable on the side stand, but that only seems to be this way because the side stand moves a little bit on its buttom sind, after the short move the bike is stable. I had a lot of times more than 30 kilos on it (most on the backseat, the rest in the topcase and the tank rucksack) and it didn’t fall. Nevertheless I always look for a very flat place to let the motorcycle stand especially if heavy loaded.
