I doubt that I'll be able to buy another bike next year, because my parents are buying this for me as a present so that's why I want to buy something good. I also heard that the 250 maxes out at 100mph.
have you looked at a 500?? and if your going to go to a class than get a 600.. i got a 636 as my 1st bike, but i rode dirtbikes so i knew the basics of riding.. dont get on a bike until you have the class... its a big help... but its all about the feeling for you... like for example... i dont like the gsxr's my friend has one and i rode on his and didnt like how it felt... but i love how my bike feels... put it this way... the way you drive your car is going to be the way you ride... if you have a lot of close calls when driving your going to have lots of close when your riding...
