currently, they're the only ones here in the US that have a 250cc sportbike.
unlike europe... we don't have a lot of choices for smaller engine sportbikes.

I still found it to be a very similar feel to sit on both of them. The bars are a little lower and further away, but not enough to remove the "Standard" feeling.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

Like I just told Lunchmeat, in the very near future, you're going to want something bigger. So save your bucks and hope you can sell the small cc bike.amitbob21 wrote:Hey guys this is my first post, anyways im looking for a good starter bike. I have no experience in riding.

Re: good starter bike?
Selling the small cc bikes never seems to be a problem. Unless you do something silly and assume that it'll sell for more then you paid for it (I've seen that a lot around here).Bubba wrote:Like I just told Lunchmeat, in the very near future, you're going to want something bigger.
