An SV650 would have been a better transition......unless she only cares about looks. A GSXR-600 doesn't perform any better than an SV until after 8K rpm.

Hell she probably should have just skipped the 250 and just started with an SV.

Yes I do and I learned first on dirt bikes, then on a ninja 250. I didn't need a 750 when I got one, it was just a cheap deal and I took it. When I was 18 and buying it all that really mattered was it's pretty colors.....

Several 750's later, I still don't ride it close to it's limits on the track and never will. I've been wanting to get something smaller for a long time, actually a 250 like the one in Tye's pic to be exact. It teaches you 10x's the riding skills you can get by over-compensating with the power of bigger heavier bikes.

Wish I had some extra cash cause I'd take that bike off your hands....

Not making this post would have been a better choice for you.


Why do you ALWAYS tell people what they should/shouldn't do?

Because everyone has their own writing style, and this is mine. If you don't like it, putting me on ignore might be a good option.

I'm sorry, but I actually did LOL when I read the "I see your woman has a 750...." comment.

Tigger, really? This chick has been riding since probably before your 'woman' was a teenager. You never cease to amaze me with your stupid comments.

How would I argue with you?

But I think that qualifies you for cougar status.

You selling? I would be interested in a clean 04/05 750.....I love the riding position. The 06+ riding position is scrunched up, the tank has a fucked-up shape to it, and you sit on top of the bike instead of in it.
