Nah it's not a proper 250. It's got 2 strokes too many!

They look fun bikes though, low powered ones can be a right laugh to get the most out of, rewarding to wring the necks out of. Rather than just buying a rocket and opening it up in a straight line like a poweranger

I am soooo looking forward to it arriving and don't have to get it lowered 40mm like I did my Yam R125 . Okay I also had the assistance of my Daytona Ladystar GTX boots which added nearly another 2 inches .

The R125 was fun but needed more power and still wanted my next bike to be light. I am restricted still so seemed like the best option for me at the moment

Yes they seem to have been designed to run well at 33bhp. Should do that without feeling de-balled.

Hey Foxy, I think you're gonna love your new bike.

The other half has one, in black too, and she thinks it's the best thing ever. She's a shorty (the wrong side of 5 foot) and is pretty comfortable with handling it.

It certainly looks the part and has plenty of power. You'll certainly appreciate the extra grunt over your 125.

I was tempted myself but being 6' 4" it felt a little bit too small so I got the SV instead (restricted).

Great choice, enjoy.

Thank you and yes I hope that I have as much fun with it as your other half. I have had the seat scooped out a little too, every little helps as they say
