Oh how it is great when GAS leads you to new gear/stuff/whatever!
Bought this 2010 Kawasaki 250R last week but was waiting the ownership transfer. Dealer called this morning and here is Evangeline!

I know they're far from the supersports, but 0-60mph in about 5 to 6s is GREAT

Endorsing: Copetti Guitars | | Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Florianopolis - Brazil | | | Well let's see later this week when I go to the bank to get the (private) insurance...
We pay 2 mandatory annual taxes down here, one is a national insurance (DPVAT) and the other is vehicle registration (IPVA).
The DPVAT is the same value for any motorcycle.
The IPVA is 2% of the actual vehicle price and it applies to 250cc and over.
Private insurance is optional, but we usually get it because the national insurance plan for vehicles cover too little...

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Austin, Tx, USA, Earth | | Very nice! My first bike was a Ninja 250 - old body style. Cheap and super fun, even though I'm now riding an FZ6 I miss it: you can flog it everywhere with no fear of exceeding speed limits 
Peace,
Greg

Peace,
Greg | Today was the first day I went to work on her, it was fun but I'm still getting used to it.
Really nice acceleration and it is great that it won't go too fast, this way I can learn how to handle a sport bike before I move up (not that I plan to move up any time soon... )
I've seen on the Kawi forums that the 250R can go up to 100mph, but I really didn't go past 60-65mph and it is enough for commuting; so far so good!
