Thinking about bying another bike. i previously had a tiny nsr 80 and wondering of the 2 bikes mentioned which one would have the best handling for city driving ? I found on the nsr the tyres were like a bicycle and i hated driving it compared to other larger bikes i tried . btw its the older 90s model cbrs im looking at

I would take the 400....you will prolly be bored outta ya mind on the 250cc after 3mths, depending on your age and experience. But at least you will grow into the 400 where as the 250 you will grow out off.

If you commute in heavy traffic 250 is is a way to go It is lighter so is much easier to filter between cars, on foothpaths etc
Also engines are more bulletproof on 250 as they've gear driven cams - savage sound! Will take a lot of abuse
The higher cc the more boring riding in city but on cbr250 you can slip the clutch and redline it all the time :P

I'd be more recommended step from nsr imo

id be considering a hornet 250 in your position - better seating/view for town work imo
