First off let me say one thing, this was not the bike I wanted. I had a 2003 GSX-R 600 all picked out and everything. But I got to talking to my dad about it and he go to talking to his friends about it and decided I would die on it, lol. So we went out and bought this lil 250R. And I was very suprised with the power it has and how well you can handel the bike. I thought that when I got this bike I would be bored with it in a matter of no time, but I wake up every morning excited that I get to ride it. But I have a couple of questions, and keep in mind that it is still under warrenty.

Should I do any upgrading to this bike, such as an exhaust or something like that to make it sound better.

I want to be able to be going down the interstate at 80-90ish mph without being at or around 9-11thousand rpms. Is there anyway to make the rpms be at 7-8 rpms going 80-90 mph.

I have a girlfriend and she wants to ride with me. Is this a good bike for that, or is it too small. And if she can ride on it with me, give me some tips on how I should ride with her on it and what she should and shouldnt do while riding.

And for now thats about it, this is my first bike and so far ive been very happy with it. I would also love some feedback on this topic. Thanks!!!
