So I love my 250 I bought a few months back, but it's starting to get on my nerves. I've basically been riding it exclusively since I dropped the insurance on my VTR.
The side stand touches down ALL THE TIME on lefts. Even sometimes in traffic, but all the time when I ride twisties. So I figured I'd take the lefts softer and have my fun on the rights...
WRONG!!
Yesterday I was following my plan and scraped the fucking exhaust header. Almost lost it.
I'm thinking the issues are mainly due to suspension, even though it could use some rearsets and higher mounted cans...
So I'm left with two options:
Buy good suspension, brakes, exhaust, jet kit, etc. and rock the ninja, or buy a sportier bike. (thinkin sv650s or f4i)
i threw in some pics of the damage I'm doing to my baby..
all the mods I'd need to do would probably cost about a grand if I budgeted it. and I could easily spend $2000 with racing suspension and rearsets.
what would yall do??? I'm leaning towards a new bike. wouldnt mind having a little more power too.
