That 250 I had years ago would cruise fine at about 80.

i had a 125 yamaha dirt bike when i was a little kid that'd do 50-55 with me on it. im sure it'd do well over 55...

and thats why 250s are pointless...why waiste the money...get a bike you'll be happy with for longer then a week....even thought its a 250, i'd deffinatly say you got the better half of the trade

that may be your opinion, however the OP is being smart and limiting his bike so that he may get a solid riding base of skill to learn on and move up. I don't see why everyone is saying get a better one, one that you will enjoy.. Why? So he can drop that one, the one he will invest more in, one that will have more power and be more dangerous to a first timer? He is being smart and mature about learning how to ride a bike. It's pretty clear he is not selling it or moving up right now, so if you have any more negative comments, just keep them to yourself.

@ OP Good beginners bike :) You will enjoy a 250 as you learn and improve your skill. They are LOTS of fun in the twisties :)

take the fairings off, make a custom cage-12 bar and throw a sprocket on there and stunt the bitch if it even gets up there

that bike makes about 20bhp. and does what? 70mph falling off a cliff? do listen to the man about the CR500 motor. I own a CR500, they vibrate soo bad an old man would lose his dentures. maybe these pics will help.
