My CBR 250R has a 346 pound curb weight in its current setup. Back when I rode dirbikes, the 230ish pound CRF 250R with 35 or so horsepower sure felt powerful, at least as powerful as the 45 horsepower my CBR has. Certainly that was a factor of gearing, but man could that bike accelerate. My usual experience with street bikes is in the area of 400-500 pounds, so my CBR feels like a featherweight in comparison. The VFR 400 probably weighs around 450 pounds.
I agree that both the 125s I want could be lighter, but 300 pounds sounds pretty light to me. And lets be honest, simple mods can drop off a good bit of weight, even on these little bikes.
Sounds heavy to me. If I remember right my 1983 gs1100 was 520 lbs and 108hp. A 250 imo should be far less than 350. I would describe suzy as nimble not piggish. Having a passenger on the back is much easier with a bigger bike too.
