    yer i think your right i just read they stopped production in 1996, but i always see in for sale ads like 02 04 etc, so it must refer to when they were complied.

    what replaced the cbr250rr? do they make a 250 sport bike anymore or just cruisers?

    the harley looking things are pretty comfy to ride but slow as shit.

    After looking around the ZZR's seem like a pretty good option, any body know what things to look out for on second hand ones?

    The age of the cbr250r's put me off, and the fact most of them are imported, the cb250's are the naked style bikes right?

    ^^

    and the age of ae86's or Xe7X dont??... Your not going to have a 250cc bike for more than a year or two, coz trust me you will wanna upgrade and you should be able to notice if its gonna last that long, plus its not like your gonna use it as much as a car (going to the shops, pubs (unless your stupid) and shit like that). I say just buy something around the 4-5g be whatever you can buy for that coz you will sell it when you relise you can ride 100kw bikes and have passengers on it instead of 25kw bikes that struggle to pull you along.

    i bought a zx2r, for my first bike...still have it, (wanna buy?)

    if i had to ride it everyday,it would be ok, but a zzr has a more up position.

    For commuting (with a back pack) it may be more comfy....

    I also heard they have soft suspension, but I've never noticed it. mustn't be riding hard enough .

    Rides awsome around town, not leaning over all the time too so a bit on the comfy side.

    if you dont mind a naked bike go for a vtr 250. great for a learner. got heaps of torqe down low and mid(for a 250) and very easy to ride.my one is way easier than my brothers zzr250 to ride. only down side is dont really have much top end. probably only do 140kph tops.
