So i finally managed to get my Motorcycle license and i am 95% done with convincing my parents to buy one , all i need now is some numbers so that i can put that one last presentation to seal the deal with my parents.
I have 2 bikes to choose from and i need help in order to pick one ! The Suzuki Gs500F : it has a 499 CC , carburetted , 9.0:1 compression ratio , air cooled It is basically old school technology in a somewhat good looking bike. i can get this baby for about 4900 out the door. The Kawasaki Ninja 250R It has a 249 CC , also carburetted , 11.6:1 compression ratio ( this thing revs all the way up to 16K rpm , pulls pretty nice for engine size) , liquid cooled. Bike is pretty quick for a 250 , GREAT LOOKING , Cheap , about 3400 Out the door . The 250 is cheaper , better looking , nicely sized , gets better gas millage , doesnt go that fast so it is sort of safer , but its a 250 The 500 is also pretty nice looking , for some reason felt kind of big ( i was trained on a really tiny 200CC bike ) more expensive , more insurance , but it pulls much better than the 250 (duh) ..... so i cant seem to pick i dont have much money , so price is a big thing , i know its less than 2k difference but every penny counts .... So what do all the riders on here think ? |

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...
