I like 250 size bikes. Started riding after decades away from bikes. First bike ever at age 23 was a Kawasaki 900.
Got back into riding just before age 60. Started on a Kawasaki 125 Eliminator, then bought a couple of Rebels that needed some care, fixed them up and sold them after a few thousand miles each an made a little money even after covering all costs of riding.
Then I took some of that profit and bought a 2011 Honda CBR250R. Very nice bike, rode it almost 4500 miles and sold it after buying a Kawasaki Vulcan 500.
Also bought a 1971 Honda CB350 from a friends estate. He bought the bike new and it sat in the same garage for 40 years. He stopped riding it in 1983.
Got it running and cleaned up. The CB 350 will stay with me until I am gone from this world.
Another neat 250 I picked up last year is a 1987 Yamaha SRX 250. Originally intended as competition for the Ninja 250. It was in rough shape but eventually I will get it roadworthy.
