jporter12 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 The Japanese are losing the credibility in the quality dept with me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Not a good idea, since YOU started on one as well. For the record, the 250 has been claimed by the OTHER jporter.... So, yeah, it pretty much is a girl's bike, but I still ride it once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
