Shortly (within the next few months) I will be upgrading from my 1992 CBR250RR. It has been a fantastic first bike but it is time to move on. I had previously had my heart set on a 600 inline 4, but after riding a few I'm not so sure now. I like the fact that I can use all the power of my bike on the road without breaking the speed of sound. I also like having a small, light bike. So now I'm looking at two stroke 250's. The two obvious choices in my mind are the NSR250, and the RGV250. I've had a ride on my friends RGV250 and was blown away by the power of such a small bike. So basically I am trying to figure out if I should get an RGV250 or NSR250? And why one over the other? (If that is even the case).

Two strokes have always been something of a mystery to me, so buying one, tearing it to pieces and putting it back together seems like a good way to learn (with the supervision of someone who actually knows what their doing).

Oh yeah, and hi my name is Tom, and I'm from New Zealand
