Yep, I'm doing it. Ordered 1 gallon of white and I'll get a gallon of Naptha thinner to thin it down 1:1 and spray it on. It's gonna be storm troopered out like these. (probably keep my wheels gold though)

Would I enjoy a bike with more power? Yes.mr_aj_johnson said:Cool, btw- you wishing that bike had more power yet
Is this bike perfect at what it was purchased for? FUCK YES
Show me a faster or sexier bike that still gets 75mpg =)

My next bike
450cc of 80mpg (realistically about 45-50mpg) sportbike killing machine

I love my rmx 250, but the powervalve failures suck!
keep us posted on the plastidip.
Edit: by the way, your wheels are by far my favorite wheel honda has ever had. A few minutes with a sawzall and a dremel will clean up that tail nicely.

I didn't say they were my favorite... just my favorite by honda.I tend to ride with a heavy right hand, and a tendency to make my own roads. Gas mileage suffers at WOT

To each his own i guess. It's not that you cant have fun on a 250, its that its so much more fun with 4 times the power. (cbr 250 ~23-25 whp cbr 600~100-105whp)
It boggles my mind that for the same money you can have a more capable bike (ie 2002 cbr600 f4i), if you are really sold on the 250 idea, go spin around on a supermoto- much more fun. plus the resale on the 250's sucks.
Just don't be a squid, ride within your limits. 55mpg isn't so bad
Shiny side up boys!

I liked the idea of $4900 for a brand new bike (after tax, and interest) and a 5 year warranty.mr_aj_johnson said:To each his own i guess. It's not that you cant have fun on a 250, its that its so much more fun with 4 times the power. (cbr 250 ~23-25 whp cbr 600~100-105whp)

Plus the bike isn't the whole cost. I was quoted nearly $200 a month for insurance on a 600 and found a 2000 CBR 600 F4I for $4000. But my 250 cost $33 a month for full coverage and $97 a month for the bike. So bike an insurance are less then just insurance on a 600 lmao.
Plus if this thing was any heavier I would have already laid it down hitting a car at 30-40mph... I had a very close call from someone pulling into my lane but I was able to control the light ass bike lol.

As a beginner I would feel intimidated by a 600cc sportbike. Honda designed the 250 to be easy and fun to ride, and to inspire confidence. I figure I could ride the 250 for a year, if I still like riding and feel the need to step up, I will. The resale on the 250R is ridiculous right now, at least in my area- usually a 1 year old 250R is only about $500 less than a brand new one.
