chris128 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 You have to start somewhere, and when I moved up from a 125 I went to a 250, then to a 350, then back to a 250 for a couple of years before feeling the need for a 600.... Im glad you posted that cos for my next bike I am getting a brand new Kawasaki Ninja 250 (already put down a deposit) and to be honest I felt like maybe I should of just gone straight for a 600 as that seems to be what everyone else does after they have a 125 for a while, but at least now I know im not the only person to go from a 125 to a 250 I do plan to get a 600 eventually but I figure the 250 should last me for a while (at least until I'm old enough to do my DAS next year anyway!)

chris128 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Posted April 5, 2009 So, mIdLcRiSiS and cleedubber do you both think you might be up for going there sunday next weekend? (hopefully a few more people will be going there too but its a start! )If bank holiday monday suits anyone better then thats not a problem for me either Quote
Guest Posted April 5, 2009 Posted April 5, 2009 I rode my other halfs thou (on private land of course) just to see what it felt like scared the s***t out of me and I was only doing 20mph 600 is plenty enough but at the end of the day its the hand behind the throttle that has control and if you are sensible enough and take care I dont see a prob with a jump to 600 if you have the confidence and take it steady Love the VW clee Quote
