Thats exactly why we decided on the 250s - they are still able to commute but lots of fun off pavement.
Kid retired his FZ8 for season ( he's riding m Strom for he moment ) but looks forward to the 250.
Why's that?

small, light, under powered bike can be more fun to ride than a big powerful one. Especially with lots of traffic and obstacles.
I got a kx250f and for trails is a pain in the ass. Wish I got something smaller and not a race bike, my mistake.small, light, under powered bike can be more fun to ride than a big powerful one. Especially with lots of traffic and obstacles.

I did indeed sell the GSXR, along with 90% of all of my supplies. 2 months later, motorcycle withdrawal kicked in worse than nicotine withdrawal. I had no outlet after work to do something truly enjoyable. I also started losing sight/motivation to work. The goal was to pay off loans ASAP but wtf was the point of living a miserable five years just to be a little more financial secure; financially, even with the motorcycle, my gf and I weren't remotely close to struggling.
During a week-long argument with my gf, she told me I had changed since selling my bike and reminded me that she told me not to sell it.....so she helped me buy a RSV1000R off the guy who I sold my GSXR to (we're good friends).
I learned a really important lesson here. Financial independence is important but so is being happy.
And for all the *** holes saying the girl friend forced me to do it....let me know when your girl helps you buy a motorcycle lol

Moral of the story is to find a older woman with money.
Second moral is to stay away from pine cones.
Nice to have a wonderful caring Girlfriend. Happiness to you both. Do not take any notice about the negative people out here. Enjoy your life. Never mind the know it all's and the negative ones.
If she starts paying for tires give her my number.

I just saw this.
If you're any good at the track, have you though of becoming an instructor, and looked into the different track schools?
It might be a way of having your cake, and eating it too!
The really important lesson here is that your girlfriend is a *smart* saint and you should marry her posthaste.
