I'd much rather have a 600cc bike if I were to get a sport bike.

Although a used Harley sportster of some sorts would be fun and around 5k.

Does anyone make a turbo for a little 250cc engine?? I bet you could almost double the power and torque though .

That can't be right. How fast is this thing? Maximum Torque 22 Nm (2.24 kgf/m) 16.2 lb-ft/9,500 rpm That's a great bike for casual riding. I can totally take that to and from work and around town.

Looks like a good starter bike, but I wouldn't ride one unless I had to. You can get good used 600's for $4k all day long. I love my GSXR 600, could do with a little more umph though!
