BuddParticipantWow, be careful with those dilaudid. they can be very addictive. What happened to the Mohawk. Sorry to hear about the crash. Get better and get back out there.

BuddParticipantIf you are in a situation where speed is the only way out, you are doing it wrong.

BuddParticipantSure, you were twisting in some of the picks, but I see at least one where you got the dip going on. At least you were never hanging off the opposite side.

BuddParticipantI think your back tire is a little low. For traction? So, did you get lots of good pointers. Form looks pretty good.

BuddParticipantYeah, getting below the wind coming off the windshield means that you are low and your head is almost all the way back. It will get you really tired really fast.

BuddParticipantI would disagree with you, Munch. The faster you are going the more comfortable it is to lean. The more you are leaned the less the wind is hitting you. I stay much warmer on the interstate (hands not included) in the cold than I do on secondaries or tooling around town. The bike is also expelling more heat because it is working harder at speed. Granted most of this heat dissapates before it hits you, it is still warming you somewhat.

BuddParticipantThat corona tank top saved his butt.

BuddParticipantThe bikes look rather cheap. I would be careful.

BuddParticipantA good pair of armored pants are best, but the shorts and knee pads are way better than going bare. I have a friend with the shorts and he forgets they are there. The knee pads can become burdnesome unless you have some way to store them.
“I am the best there is at what I do, and what I do ain’t nice.”-WolverineBuddParticipantI have the 250. It does get blown around a bit, but you learn and get used to it. I honestly don’t even realize it unless the wind is really bad now. I wouldn’t base my decision on wind blowing you around. I would look at what you are willing to spend and what your intentions are for the bike. I have not ridden the 500 but I imagine it is pretty much the 250 only faster. The 250 will be much cheaper, insurance prices may be cheaper as well. The 250 can be a lot of fun on really curvy roads. The 250 gets much better MPG. It will go interstate speed at the bottom end of the powerband. Will you “grow out” of it? No, but you will probably want a different bike eventually.

BuddParticipantThe 250 will do those speeds comfortably. I ride mine 75-80 whenever traffic breaks loose. I don’t regret getting a 250 and I haven’t felt the need to “move up” as of yet. I have been curious about riding other bikes and wouldn’t mind riding several others.

BuddParticipantWelcome, I think you are going to like the ninja.
“I am the best there is at what I do, and what I do ain’t nice.”-WolverineBuddParticipantThat was quite humerous.
