Sorry to be linking from another forum, but this review is very well written with lots of pics. A worthy read for anyone like me who is interested in getting one.

i liked the pics. i did think the overall tone was kind of negative towards the "pull" of the bike-

if you ride a GSXR 1300 with almost 200 horsepowerevery day then hop on a bike with 20 its not going to "pull" as much. if you ride a 250 every day, you will feel the "pull".

nice read though. thanks for sharing.

Love the review. It makes me hurt some more for the ex250 to be between my legs. But alas, I must save save save!

I have both, a hayabusa and a ninja 250 and although they are quite different in power, they are both still great bikes. The ninja is just a little too small in physical size for someone as tall as me. The hayabusa fits me much better.

I disagree: "At one point during this spirited flogging, it occured to me the bike is actually too fast. Now there's an odd thought. Where'd that come from. If came from beneath me. Once in the twisties, regardless of how brisk the pace was on these tight and narrow roads, there was always more on tap."

good read...

Some of those roads looked like some real fun! We've got some like that around here, but that one on the hill. WOOOO!
