Ya I was/am considering the 250R but from the 1/4 mile times and youtube videos it looks SLOW. Wouldn't be bad for around town I guess but I would be worried about highway riding and getting out of people's way. Think the 500R would be decent? I've seen low 13's 1/4 mile which seems plenty fast.

Sounds pleasant, lol!


I got another question for you guys: My MSF course is scheduled for April 19th. If I wait until after that to get a bike am I screwing myself? I don't want to buy one before the course in case I hate riding (highly doubt it), but I am assuming availability of bikes is going to go down fast and prices will go up. It will be a hassle to get one now since I have to find someone to ride it/test drive it for me but if it is worth it I can do it.
