Grats on passing MSF class and welcome to BBM.
bob250ParticipantDefinetly get a new helmet. The instructor at my MSF class made a point about going over helmets and how any impact or the age of the helmet can affect its ability to protect your mellon.
bob250ParticipantThe nervousness goes away quickly. I had my wife follow me home and she said I was driving like a grandma. Your confidence will grow every time you go for a ride. Just take your time and be safe. Oh yeah, have fun too. Hope that 650 works out for ya.
bob250ParticipantI have an 08 ninja 250 and had it up to 65mph with my wife on the back and with just myself. I don’t think speed is the problem, I think the 250 just does not feel super stable in the wind. You will still have quite a bit of throttle left at 65-70. I don’t have alot of experience, but I would get a 500 over a 250 any day of the week for freeway driving. If not for the added power then for the added weight of the bike. Whatever you end up getting be safe and enjoy!
