If you´re after a good around town bike this is hard to beat. Not only is it inexpensive, it´s fun to ride

 
  I´ve had mine for 1 year now. Mine is the black version. I´ve been riding bikes for a few years now and had plenty of them in my younger days too. Often I´ve 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 80´s bike and has a nice retro (yet modern) look. Don´t buy this bike if you don´t like people watching you. It´s not a spectacular modern machine, it´s 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 250´s
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
It´ll cruise on the freeway at 100kph comfortably
It doesn´t cost much
A couple of negatives:
It doesn´t 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
It´s 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 isn´t as much fun to ride as this
