250cc bikes

Going for my restricted license in the new year and going to be looking at a 250cc. Didnt think there would be that many on the market but was surprised to find hundreds. So whats yer thoughts on what to get and what to forget?

Kawasaki's Ninja 250r is the newest 250 "sportsbike" you can get, its meant to be a cracking little bike. If you seach eBay you'll find loads of 250's. What type are you looking for? Sports? Cruiser? Touring? Crosser? Scooter?

The 250cc idea is out the window. I managed to pick up a wee honda cb1 400cc. 1990 its in great condition for its age! whats your thoughts on this? good bike?

Not to sure if its a good bike, only because I've never heard of it! I initially though it was a typo of cb400, but i googled it and it turns out not that many cb1 400's where made, and its known for being reliable, handling well and having a good engine! All in all it looks like a good un!

Much did it cost you?
