Also, as I've stated before, if you plan of doing any freeway riding I would avoid a 250; they just aren't up to the task. Check the 500 or a used 600 or something.

I'm glad you're looking out for the bikers on the road. It's a nice feeling to see someone make more room for you because they took the time to notice you.
Also dont count on saving money by getting a motorcycle. By the time you pay for your gear, insurance and buy the bike, you probably wont be saving money on gas.
