Hey everyone,

I just got a call from my dealer and they located a black 250 for me and financing went through!

They said they'd have it for me tomorrow!



Need to pick up some gear beforehand but HELL YEAH!

Super pumped.

What if he plans to ride it home?

...better get a can of spraypaint while you are out picking up gear!

Congrats!

Gratz on the purchase, welcome to the forums.

Negative on the spray paint. Going to see if I can add the Two Brothers since it's the least loud of the aftermarket cans.

Don't want to sound like a lawnmower but on the flip side, don't want to sound like a helicopter on helium.

After first service, the Two Brother's begins to sound alot more crisp. Makes me grin everytime I crank the bike and give it a rev or two :-D

Congrats dude. You'll love it like the rest of us.

Hey everyone, update, my new babyblade is now resting in her home in my garage. The drive home was hot, but fun!

Gear shift seemed a little clunky on the way over, did anyone else notice this, or is it because it's a new engine, etc? Never had a brand new vehicle before, always had hand-me-downs or used.

Regardless....can't wait to get back on it!

I picked mine up today as well. Its used but only 700 miles. Tranny felt clunky 1-3. so maybe just the model but i dont have anything to compare to. First street bike.

I should also mention that it was only during downshifting.

I also had to go through a puddle and now there are water spots all over the poor thing. First bath this evening I guess. (SHUCKS.)

Haven't noticed this on my new one. Actually, compared to the 250 I learned on back in the 90's (Nighthawk 250) I really like the tranny. I know when I've shifted. Sometimes it's hard to tell on those other 250's.
