you bastard guy!!!  Indeed!

I would have gotten the single r instead of the rr, because of the 636 engine, and because I don't need superhighrevvingfunhappy cause I am a rookie on sport bikes. 

But very very nice indeed.

Bikes are too much fun, part of the reason I moved to BC was the longer riding season.  Though I seem to have collected a half dozen cars and no bikes since I have been here though :(
All of the newer bikes are creating so much power in smaller packages in the last few years.  In the past 15 years they seem to have doubled the power per cubic centimeter and almost halved the weight.  Couple that with all the great routes here, there is a ton of potential for some good performance rides with great scenery.

The bike had a low speed slide needs a new engine cover, fairing, and signal light. all on the left side of the bike. it is all very minor damage.

All easy fixes. plastics are pretty cheap and tons of after market options too.
I work with a few guys who seem to work only to pay for their bikes, their big complaint is the lack of bikes under 600cc in the sport bike category, forcing new riders to get onto 600cc bikes with 80+ hp.  Personally a 400cc bike is plenty for me, even with my GF on the back (together we are hardly 260 lbs).  I still haven't decided if I want to go sport bike or enduro though.  I always loved my XL600r, heavy enough for short highway runs and I could still take a rip through the dirt if I got the urge.  ;D

Yeah if i was to get a street bike it would be a 1000 cc for sure.  But i guess being 6'3'' and 250 lbs might be a reason.


but.... i would kill myself on a street bike so ill stick to my CR250 thank you very much.  (anyone around here dirtbike? im looking for people to go riding this season.  I dirtbike around the cultus lake area.  Just in behind my house there is some wicked trails up on vedder mountain.

And who needs a sport bike anyways.....Ill just make my colt fast enough to beat those damn bikers.
