I kind of agree with this along these lines. I believe this thread involves the idea of a more powerful motard style bike. On pavement more power up to a reasonable point is better IMO for fun on a motorcycle. Personally I wouldn't look twice at a 250 motard...that's just me. I'd want at least a 400cc or so. In fact, I'd probably go out and grab hold of the Suzuki 400 motard style bike. Not bashing anyone with the SF, I'm just more partial to more power on pavement. For dirt, my 300 jugged KLX works just fine. I'm not racing anymore, so I don't need that much extra power.

 

Ouch, my face feels bashed in...haha jk. I love my little sf, i forget its a 250 sometimes . Until I ride with my buddies Then I feel like a snail.
