My friend Basher is in St. Louis and he has one too. <br /><br />http://www.basherdesigns.com/Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-78145005982866292482011-02-10T19:57:11.452-06:002011-02-10T19:57:11.452-06:00I actually was thinking the better comparison bike...I actually was thinking the better comparison bike would have been the WR250R rather than the Ninja. Of course, the Honda isn't anything close to the WR250R, but it also costs quite a bit less.

FI and ABS ar...<b>Keith:</b> I'd still go for the CBR. FI and ABS are big in my opinion. A couple of the local racers were hot on the bike to race in the 250 class too. It could be a fun commuter, but I think my WR250R is quite good for that. sucks up the bumps nicely and can go anywhere. comfy ergos and a big alternator -- the seat could use replacing for day long rides though. <br /><br />the ice tires would destroy the dry pavement ;) <br /><br /><b>RichardM:</b> <br />You're welcome.

I still can't see a way to navigate out to the main roads. I could use some tires like that ice racer, but then what would I do when I got to dry pavement :)Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-73535003141475425092011-02-09T17:12:11.386-06:002011-02-09T17:12:11.386-06:00That CBR250R looks pretty nice.

We don't get any motorcycle shows up here. <br /><br />RichardRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-37772372461175885902011-02-08T21:16:28.396-06:002011-02-08T21:16:28.396-06:00Thanks, Chris.

Motorcycle USA did a "Shootout" between the CBR250R and the Ninja 250R: http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/9/9134/Motorcycle-Article/Honda-CBR250R-vs-Kawasaki-Ninja-250R.aspx<br />Many of the things they were critical of were things that weren't a problem for me. The Kawi "won" the shootout which didn't surprise me. I'm thinking the Honda is a commuter and secondary road bike more than a sportbike.<br /><br />Again, thanks for checking it out.<br /><br />My bike is pretty much iced in the garage, but we got a big warm-up coming. I'm hoping to be on the road again this weekend.<br /><br />~KeithKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.com
