Well folks, here it is! A day late, but thankfully not a dollar short. Mercifully, I remembered yesterday that I had a test in class today. So, I spent it packing data into my head, instead of having fun. Funny how responsibility (sometimes) gets in the way of the fun, but "whatta' ya gonna' do"!!! Anyhow kiddies, here are the pics everyone's been asking for. I'm afraid the pics of the dash aren't as clear as I'd like. Didn't have time to do the oil change today, but I'll do it in the next couple of days and post pics of what she gives up in the process. I'll admit ignorance when it comes to uploading pics to the site, so you can check out the line-up where I've published them here..... This site has been removed. The pictures can be seen in posts #14 and #16 of this thread. . I hope you enjoy them as much as I'm enjoying the bike!!! I'll make some notes of my progress and, as suggested, write a review. Cheers, everyone!!!

wow is that a fuel guage on a 250? I actually find that very, very interesting. Your bike looks great, and i wish you GL with it. If your reveiw is pretty positive maybe ill get a 250 to tool around on and go back and forth to work.

Yeah, that's the fuel guage, vertically on the far right of the digital display. I have to say, I'm absolutely thrilled with the bike. Admittedly, I've only got 80 miles on her so far, but that's gonna' change, and fast!!!
What can I say but "thanks". The only problem I've found is that people look at me funny when I take off my helmet and I can't get the goofy grin off my face!!!

that is awesome. I'm going to keep tabs on this thread, you can be our guinea pig (so to speak). I would be interested in picking up a 250 for my self and maybe a 125 for my kid (I wonder how hard it would be to turn it into a track bike...hmmmmm)

Finally, a good looking 250 on the market. I wonder where I can rustle up one for myself...........can we say TRACK BIKE kiddies?
Keep us posted on the bikes attributes, obviously it has many of ours attention.

That is the sexiest 250 I have EVER seen. Nice bike.
