As far as the 250R goes...I fail to see why a bike that is light, very forgiving of mistakes, cheap to fix if you drop it, but can do 90mph and a 14 second quarter mile is unsafe and too slow for a beginner rider??? Its "slow" as far as bikes go, but I see nothing wrong with buying one, riding it for a year or two to learn on, and then selling it for about the same price you paid for it when you are ready to upgrade. But I guess you all started out driving super-charged 460 big block V8's when you 1st started driving cars too?

I've been on one when I was younger. I felt like I had the knowledge to be able to drive a bigger one. Maybe that's because I've been BMXing my whole life and I also had a little (still do) pocket bike, 110CC or so. No, I didn't want to jump on a Ducati 1198 or GSX-R Hayabusa 1300 yet, but I feel safe and confident enough to want to.
You're right Nick, the parts are cheap, but also you can get any other part cheaper if you look around. I paid $10 or so for my HID's that cost $100 + easy. Paid $10 or $20 for left and right mirror and they're worth WAY more then that I believe. E-Bay, CraigsList and waiting for the win. Paid $4,000 for my bike that's worth $6,00 easy, brand new plates, stickers, plate number/letters, came with a few brand new parts ect. One of my Dist that works for my company, his friend got an R1 for like around $3,000 and it's WAY more worth it then that. Now he's trying to sell it because he lost his job. Wish I had the money. :/
Lets see some pictures of your bike Nick.

What I really want to know is, Badfish...did the CBR come in that matte black color or is that custom? Cause damn that looks good.

Thanks...I was actually torn between getting a CBR600RR or a Daytona 675 the past few years, but eventually decided to go with the naked "street-fighter" look. And they don't sell the naked CBR in the US anymore, so that made my decision easy.
Figured the matte was custom...never saw one like that before...I'm huge fan of CBR's and that's definitely one of the sexiest I've seen. I have a friend that is obsessed with eventually painting everything he owns matte black. I'm pretty sure if I showed him those pics, his bike current bike would be matte black the next time I saw it. LOL
