Important people who need jobs.

The Australian 2013 model comes without wheels, as a highly acclaimed safety feature. :idea:

Why not the CBR250R?
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

I was very close to buying one on sale. Took a couple of test drives, one fairly long. I realized that I would never ride my conversion any more, so I put it up for sale. Then someone wanted to buy it :o and I just couldn't sell. Soooo I decided on the 125 as it filled most of my needs as an economical/fun town/backroader, but I would still need my conversion if I want to go somewhere, or even just exceed the speed limit.

I was also giving the new Ninja 300 a serious look. The little 125 was $1200 off, which is pretty big discount on a $3500 bike, so I felt I had little to risk. I'll give a full ride report after I get it fully run in. Right now all I can say is it looks like it's going much faster than it is.

There is something very cool about those bikes, but I don't want any more involvement with Italian engineers and part suppliers then I do with the Italian political system.

They should stick to super models and pasta.

Every motorcyclist should have an Italian bike once.
Only once.
