Hello CBR Fans! Been riding Hondas for longer than I care to admit. Current stable starts with a pair of ST90's, through to an RC51 with a VFR800/CBR400RR/VFR400/NT650/CH150D in between (and a couple others).
I've always been a fan of the 1/4 liter and small stuff. Started my street life on a 1990 VTR250 that I bought new, and have regretted selling ever since I did. Racked up 11,000 miles the first year I owned her. Dropped her once early on, and learned how to ride safely with a good group of friends that always thought she was a 600 (bodywork fooled some I guess). Sure, they called it the Barbie bike after I'd out-corner them on the way up one of the local mountain passes, but I loved that bike.
I was *hoping* the new 250 would be a V-twin, for that reason. To be honest, was a touch disappointed when I learned it was a thumper. I have a thing for revvy engines and wasn't sure this will be it.
So, I've signed up here to learn more. Yes, I have another motive too, but that is secondary to deciding whether a 250R needs to live in my stable (and not the classic 250R with 3 wheels - had one of those - my brother has it now - and that's a fun ride as well!).
My most enjoyable ride, at the moment, below.
