Review of the 2009 Pagsta KRB250
Great around town bike
|
If youīre after a good around town bike this is hard to beat. Not only is it inexpensive, itīs fun to ride Review of the KRB250 submitted on 2010-02-03.
Iīve had mine for 1 year now. Mine is the black version. Iīve been riding bikes for a few years now and had plenty of them in my younger days too. Often Iīve had a car or bike that I really liked but it was just too old and I got tired of working on it. Often I wished they would just bring out a new version of the machine. Well this is a machine just like that. It rides like an 80īs bike and has a nice retro (yet modern) look. Donīt buy this bike if you donīt like people watching you. Itīs not a spectacular modern machine, itīs just a basic commuter with a neat look about it. Apart from its looks, I like it because: It is a good size - not too small like many other 250īs It has a neat sound as the pistons go up and down together which gives it a smooth drone rather than a putter, putter It has a proper seat for the passenger The passenger footpegs are at a proper height It has exhausts on both sides so looks good from both sides It has a decent sized 18 litre tank It comes with a neat little fairing which does keep a bit of wind off It comes with a built in rack making it easy to attach a top box Itīll cruise on the freeway at 100kph comfortably It doesnīt cost much A couple of negatives: It doesnīt handle that well (could be because I have a large top box on the back of mine) The original gearing was too low. The local distributer put a rear sprocket on with 3 less teeth which made a huge difference Itīs not that powerful - though its adequate (I could still lose my licence with it) In summary, I also have a Kawasaki ZZR600 which is good but it just isnīt as much fun to ride as this
