I just sat on a Ninja 250 yesterday.. Then I sat on the CBR and it is seriously 100% more comfortable. The seat and riding position is absolutely AMAZING. Grips feel a little too close together but Im also used to dirtbike handles. Just sitting on the bike feels sporty. Everyone is going to be so happy with theirs!!
JDM ! We are excited for you ! I think both the red and black look fabulous. We are all counting on more first impressions and ride report and more photos as soon as you can! I can't believe someone in the states is actually taking delivery! Already appreciating your initial comments on riding position, seat comfort, etc.........
Im not sure if Ill be the first in the US to have it but I like to think so. Also the bikes VINs are number sequentially.. I have number 7 out of about 4,000 licensed in the US.. I wonder who is getting number 1??

Im not quite sure how to explain it. The Ninja felt like it wouldnt be fun to ride when you sit on it. I wouldnt say it felt bigger but the CBR felt smoother.. If that make sense. The tank on the CBR felt awesome on my legs.
As for the break in period.. I plan to take the first couple days slow since Im not used to this type of riding position but after that I plan on not taking it over 6k rpm until break in period is done.
I am going green with envy. But, it is overcome, by my happiness for you. Taking the practical for my safety course (new rider) ASAP and awaiting the notification that my CBR250 has arrived.
That is Fantastic! Jealous but happy for you. This is good news for all of us waiting! The bike has arrived! Enjoy and make sure you keep us up to date.
Its non from the picture. But didn't Kim write that only ABS models were to be imported to DM? The ABS version of that beautiful red machine is what I'm waiting for.

Why does the bike idle at 5k up to 6.5k on a start up after sitting for 2 years without no start and three new gas has done seafoam and Techron in the fast as well.
i buy and sell a good amount of bikes, coming back to the sv650 whenever i find a good deal, or the honda 250/300 bikes. the deal on this one wasnt super, but i really wanted a good bike that i could use to teach my oldest kid how to ride.
we picked up the bike around 9 yesterday in college...
