Hey guys.. first of i have TWO DAYS of riding experience (never got over 40mph).. so im lurking around here reading alot and trying to learn what i can before the next season starts..

but in response to the above post:

But I was watching some of wilsonryders69's videos on LV, and he was talking about how he made some "noob mistakes" on his Ninja 250R by riding through town in the taller gears keeping the rpms down, and how that was a bad idea with that bike because it doesnt make any power down there.

So I guess its important for 250 riders to stay close to the powerband when riding and use the right gear so you have some chance of getting your bike out of harms way. Thats what I picked up from it, and will try and remember next time I ride.
