    Bike style preference aside... Ya wouldn't be doing a long motorway commute on a 250

    Beyond 20 miles, no chance. I had 18 months on a 125 which was excruciating only for the fact that the alternative for someone my age was buses or trafficmageddon in a car, so I still saved an hour a day. :)

    I understand why people will choose a bike that suits their needs to start but I just don't think it's wise, having learned some hard lessons.

    I love when I pass so many cars, not to gloat, but reminds me ID be stuck in that if in the car and be getting held up and stressed.
    I couldnt get it, over the last few weeks or more there was mad traffic, and then on some days none?? a few times I counted the number of cars I was passing just to see how much of an advantage it was, but just gave up, I guesstimated in blocks and it was still worse in the other direction and cant hekp wondering why more people arent on bikes,

    then I decided to take the bike out for a spin yesterday evening and broke my own rule of not having all my gear on, bottom half soaked in minutes, needless to say felt a bit unprotected and not just from the elements, I may have been as well wearing shorts as jeans, wont be doing that again.
