Hello from South NJ
Hi everyone,
My bike was delivered Friday night. It is a black non-ABS. It is my first sport bike and I have not ridden in 15 years so it to me is kinda like my first bike again. I'm 43.
I was like many people looking at the Ninja 250 and in fact was going into the dealer to buy a black one that they just got in. I had previously called around to see if any other dealers had a CBR to look at. No one did so I figured I would just go with the Ninja. When I got to the dealer I was surprised to see this black CBR in the front of their showroom. Now I had some deciding to do! well so I thought... I am 6'1 and although I think the Ninja has better looks, I felt a bit cramped up on it. I sat on the CBR and it felt way more comfortable. I went back and forth between bikes a few more times..It was very clear that the CBR fit me much better. I was already leaning towards the CBR prior because of the fuel injection but gave up when I couldn't locate one in my area. I do have to say that side by side that I prefer the Ninja's looks over the CBR but there is no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice. In my opinion, if you are tall, the CBR is the choice to make.
I spent Saturday getting back in the saddle
just tooling around pretty close to home. I did a few hours in a large parking lot doing some retraining, low speed turns, getting the feel for the brakes and swerving around my water bottle.
Sunday I rode for most of the day. I put close to 200 miles on it taking a few stops along the way. I never once felt cramped up on it. I took it on the highway and it has plenty of power. I love this bike. I am very satisfied with it in every respect. Here are a couple of pictures of the bike.
