Anyone who tells you any 250 won't handle legal, and even extra-legal, traffic speeds, is completely full of you-know-what. Plain and simple....

I'm favoring the more standard seating position yet sporty look, but how well will it do for sustained riding? How about a passenger? I'm a bit more worried that the new one has suffered a decrease in an already weak top-end in favor of 30% more midrange power - is this the case, or is there more power (little as it may be) all the way around?
By yourself you will be ok, with a passanger at your wieght it will just be pointless. Get a 500 or 650r.
