HAHAHAHA everyone downs the 250's, I know a guy who rides a 250 that will run circles around anyone else in the corners, I mean given its not the fastet thing on 2 wheels, its very nible and quick, you might consider it for your first bike, I mean hell you can always sell it to someone else for the same price.

Your going to dump the bike sometime, why not dump a bike that only ways 200lbs instead of a 350lbs bike???
