Oh yeah I’ll send pictures, it’ll be a little while though. Thanks for the info on the Ninja 250 PhilUp, I’m starting to consider it, it looks great.

So it looks like a Nighthawk 250 might be the way to go, that’s good because they look awesome and is easy to handle from what I’ve heard. I’m just glad to know it wont kill itself at 65mph for a few hours with a little gear on. But then again, I hear you outgrow them really quickly so maybe a Suzuki GS 500. In any case thanks guys I appreciate the advice.

That’s good to know because a 250cc is cheaper and easier to maintain. Glad to hear it can stay steady at a high speed. I starting to think the nighthawk is the way to go. Has anyone here ridden one? I just keep hearing from other people that they are too small for freeways, but it sounds like that’s not true now.

Yeah I’m a 32-34 inch inseam (depending on the company) and as of now am 150 pounds (trying to gain a little weight.) I’ve heard that 250s will get pushed around if it’s windy and that they really have to work hard to stay at a steady 60-65mph for a half hour is that true? In that case I don’t think I would want to put on 25 pounds of extra gear. I’ve been looking at the nighthawk and love the way it looks but I thought it just was too small.

As of now I’m looking mostly at the Ninja 250/500, GS500, Kawasaki KLX250SF and Honda Nighthawk. Do you guys think they could do the job? It sounds like a 250 might work, I just don’t want it to be screaming with pain at 65mph.

PS. Thanks for the quick replies
