[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 48785, member: 21"] I think you left the link out of your first post for the new Honda CBR250R. Kind of like a CRF250 engine in a street bike. It does look interesting. I bet it will get just about the 77 mpg that it boasts. Take some time and read some reviews. This is important because you will be riding it on the freeway as part of your commute. A few things that I found are a little worrysome. A max speed of only about 90 and this paragraph that I read in a review comparing it to the 250 Ninja If you add an uphill and a 35 mph headwind things might get kind of dicey on the freeway. You might be relegated to the right lane because you can only do 65. You can pretty much take the top speed of the bike and subtract the headwind to find you speed. If you go with 90 less a 30 mph headwind you get 60. Not good for the freeway. Seems to me like the Ninja would have the edge as it tops out over 100. Low mileage used 250 Ninjas are everywhere as they are a common starter bike. If you would consider the green bike be sure to get a 2008 or newer. Several improvements were made with that year. My work commuter is a 1980 CM400 and it has a top end of about 95. I've had some problems with headwinds, grades, and freeways that were no fun. [/QUOTE]
