I love my 250...and will never get rid of her!!!! The 250 is very forgiving and fun!!!! I will b moving to a bigger bike next summer but for now I continue to ride my 250. Will b doing my first track day in April on my 250...should b fun!!! Only thing now after riding for a while is lack of power with the 250...I lag behind alot cuz she just can't keep with the big bikes!!!!! I am only 5 foot & had 2inch lowering links put on mine, I still can't touch flat foot but enough to where I am comfortable. Kawasaki sport bikes are just lower than most others even getting into the bigger cc's. Lots u can do though to fix that!!!! Hope that helps!!!! Good luck looking!!!!!
