My review might be a bit tainted, they say top speed is 70+ I found at 55 to 65 it needed me to run alongside and push it. It did best at about 45 and lower. Very nimble, easy to ride, fun at lower speeds, handles well in parking lots and town driving. I was the 3rd owner, and it will not have a 4th as I blew the engine. I put 1500 miles on it and it had 3 yes count them 3 oil changes during that time. I changed the oil as soon as I bought it, I had an oil leak and they had to replace a seal so it got an oil change, and it needed a new starter so it got its 3rd oil change. I was using it as my daily driver and going 55MPH-45MPH I live 10 miles from work. My mechanic said that was too much high speed for it and the engine could not handle it. Could be the other owners were rougher on it then I was. It had 7500 miles on the clock, I replaced the starter and clutch cable.This was my first bike and I probably should have gone bigger. Very limited on after market add on, ride was comfortable, lots of plastic parts If I had to do it all over again I would not have bought a 250. I did all the research and thought starting at a 250 was a good Idea but not so much now as I wanted something that I could ride for years to come. So looking for something in the 750-1200 range.
