Re: info on the new kawi 250?????

Its not too bad really. I rode for a few miles and my friend has put around 700 miles or so on it. Does not have too much power buts its really really smooth delivery. Everything is top notch quality. Nothing feels cheap. The suspension is non adjustable and its set really soft, but it does not keep anyone from using almost the entire rear tire. Ridiculous easy turn into corners by the way. Tracks clean, no weaving in corners and the front feels planted even with my fat *** on it. Very confidence inspiring.

Good learner bike, thats about it..

Overweight, under powered pig..

IMHO, kind of like a big crf 50.

Thought about getting one for awile, but figured it was not powerful enough and a waste and bought a zx6r instead .:YEAH

would make a dope learner bike for a girl! Probably about the next step up from the 150r in size/weight, but a little less power so she'll have to get used to that.

Dammit Son! Nags just got one too... I'm jealous.

I wanted to get a Ruckus, but Nags has steered me to the Zuma... aka the "GSXR1000 of Scooters" (Yes a direct quote from the Nags)

Re: info on the new kawi 250?????

I think they perform great. My girlfriend picked one up and I take it out every once in a while to work. I love it for just cruising to work and back. Of course its not fast but for a 250 it handles pretty good, Completly different than the older 250s.
