the 250 is great to learn on, but you'd probably be bored in a couple of months, if you lasted that long. The 500R is a good choice, I just took my '01 and did a full jardine exhaust, K&N air intake and rejetted the carbs. That bike has enough get up and go to last you several years.

waco eh?

I'm over here in good 'ol dusty lubbock. If you get a bike we'll have to go meet up sometime and ride. I am in need of some biker road trips.
