yes i did read your post, i just wanted to make sure it was you who said that it happened on the 401.. You guys probably think im arrogant and ignorant. I understand that people who are saying to go with a 250 are speaking sense BUT i cant hep pass up this offer, provided insurance isnt too much of a bitch, and my parents give in. Any Ontarions here? Besides im not planning on going on the highway. Also what ya think of the bike and the price? And do you think that hindle exhaust will make too much of a racket?

Too many miles well..kilometers. If you insist on using used gear, Don't use the helmet even if he says it's in perfect condition. Once a helmet is dropped on in a crash it is useless and if you crash wearing a helmet like that it will NOT protect you because the stuff in it has already absorbed a previous impact. I'm sure you can find a better deal. Look around. You can get a brand new 250r for less than that and by the time you're ready to upgrade from the 250r, there will be a ton more deals on bikes like that. 24,000 km is A LOT on a bike, mileage on bikes is not the same as cars.

Do you even know if the gear will fit you? That's one of the most important things people over look. Gear you wear should fit right or its practically useless. If your jacket/pants are too big or too small the pads won't be in the right place and so on...
I spent 4k on my bike new and $900 on new gear after some good discounts. I spent almost $450 dollars on my helmet alone. Why you ask? Quite frankly the well being of my head is worth more to me than $500 dollars When I went out riding I was always in full gear...helmet, jacket, pants, boots, & gloves. I suggest you do the same. If price is an issue....save more money. |

OP: Look into the shoei rf-1000: sexy design, endless animations, moderately priced, dot ANDDDDDd snell approved Oh and if you don't strap your helmet with the chin strap, you might as well not be wearing a helmet because it will slip right out in a crash. |

Damn...all of these posts in this thread are the reason why I just completely ignore my want to get a bike. Too much risk. Too many idiots. Too unsafe. But god it looks fun.
Razzy, you better listen to these guys. Get the 250cc and get the best gear. You will thank them if ever you are in a crash (hopefully you won't be)...And if you're not, you'll thank them later on down the road for the advice. |

Whatever you do, dont get a used helmet! Your melon is probley the most important part when going down, and its that piece of plastic on your head that will save your life! I rode all throughout summer on my r6 and went down beginning of summer! Luckily it was minor bruises!

thats terrible. Not wearing gear is like not wearing clothes when going to a business meeting. Anyways, i think you guys have pretty much convinced me to get a 250cc. I will keep you guys updated. Thanks for your help guys.
