Ninja 250R vs 600cc gsxr

[jared]

4well i just spent an hour reading over at gixxer.com and am starting to doubt myself with a 600cc bike again. i have not ridden anything seriously. i have been told to get a 250 to start but also hear i will get bored easily and fast. many suggest the 600 and be smart for a while and very careful. gixxer.com has made me doubt myself.
this is especially discerning as i was wanting to look at that 02 movistar 600 tomorrow.

what do you all think? if i got a 250 i would buy new since they have redesigned the 250.

600 unless you want a bike for just one season...

Id get a 250 if i was a raging fucking douche who was too big of a pussy to own a real fucking bike but used the excuse of wanting a "starter bike" to hide the fact i was either afraid of a real bike or could not afford one.

Im an asshole when im drunk.

Ok, on topic..


250's suck. Period.
That's just my opinion, but that's exactly how I feel.

IMO they are a girls bike. And even then I know a few girls who ride 6's so..
When the new 250 came out I thought and still do think it looked pretty cool. My gf has been wanting another 6 for a while and I said "hey why dont you geta new 250 they look like a real bike instead of a moped now" and she looked at me like i was an idiot and said "i wouldnt own one of those pieces of shit".


If you just want something really cheap on gas and insurance to ride to/from work or what not then yea a 250 is prob the way to go. If you are wanting a real bike however, for actually riding, then stay the hell away from a 250.

A 250 will do one of 2 things.
You will buy it and realise what a shit-pile it is then sell it and go buy a real bike
or
You will buy it and realize you are rather unsure of yourself (scared of bikes in general) and either sell it or keep it and ride like a squid.

No "REAL" sportbike rider even considers a 250 as being a "REAL" bike. Theyre tinker toys.
Look at it from a car guy's point of view;
Would you rather own a V8 Mustang GT, or a base model 6cyl?
How many women & highschool girls do you see driving the 6cyl?
^ Consider a 250 the 6cyl version of the Mustang.
There's def no "ohh ahh" factor there.

I never have and never will understand why anyone suggests a "starter bike". That's just retarded. I have heard ppl w/250's say things like "Well i'd prob kill myself on a 600" - well if that's the case then they are too damn stupid to have a bike period. Stupid is not bound by cc's. You can get hurt on a 250 the same as a 600 or litre bike if you ride like a jackass.

Plus it's a Kaw.
Kaw's suck.

I think everyone's first bike should be a turbo Busa.
That would ween out the noob's really quick. Natural selection!
lol

[daveb91]

yeah I have heard many good things about busas being starter bikes.......... :lol:

If you want a bike to start out on and want to get good MPG when driving back and forth to work wouldnt a rebel be better because its a honda!!

From a reliability point of view yea, but I dont like the Rebel, it's ugly lol.

[jared]

i dont care for the rebel too much either.

for a year or two all i will do is ride to/from work. about 50-60 miles a day.

i still plan to check out the Movistar tomorrow and heck i may just buy it and park it at my dads in marietta until spring. you never know what i will do...most of the things i do dont make sense.

Haha yea same here.. my actions rarely make sense to even me.

The Telefonica is a cool looking bike.

I like irrational actions as well... can I join the club?
