then buy it, if what you are mainly loking for is a 100% reliable good looking starter bike then the 250 sounds to be it. Be honest, you've already made up your mind havent you? Haha, good luck with whatever you decide man the short amount of time ive been riding has been an absolute blast.

The 250 is a great bike, and it always has been... for ALL levels of riders. Don't listen to dumbasses that tell you to start on a 1000cc+ because you'll "outgrow" it or "get bored with it." Granted, it's not going to snap your neck when you open it up in any gear, but it's faster than you would probably think it is, and it's fun being able to wind out gears without immediately breaking into triple digit speeds. It gives you that exhilerating feeling without the negative aspect.

Anyway, I'm all for it. I highly doubt you'll ever actually "outride" the 250R. You should see some of the guys on the track smoking the guys on the bigger bikes
