Of course there are people happy with their bikes. All I’m saying is that there’s a reason these bigger bikes sell so well, and that’s because the majority of riders do eventually feel the need to upgrade. And if I’m going to try to give someone who I don’t know advice, I’m going to do it based on the assumption that they’re in the majority rather than the minority. Most riders who stick with motorcycling eventually do keep upgrading until they eventually find themselves on a bike thats at least 750cc. Even Ben apparently felt the need to upgrade from his GS500 to a ZX-6R Ninja. Also, I’ve noticed that anytime someone brings up the concept of needing/wanting to “upgrade” from their beginner bike, you act like the the mere mention of it is personally insulting to you. You may be happy with your ninja 250 and plan on sticking with it forever and even upgrading it, and that’s cool. But you need to understand that you are in the minority there.
