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.
why are you worried about a bike maxing out? anybody can yank a throttle... learn to corner, then things start getting intrersting and skill comes into to play...
unless you plan to stunt then you would want a bigger bike...
you could always start on a 600...if your parents are paying for it get something you can live with for awhile...
and if you worried its to much power look at me.my first bike was a 750
and speed is addicting but after getting it up there- its just not worth taking a spill at speed when you can do it on a track and have a better chance walking away from the accident.
