Good point nxrsr20. A novice should be aware of the powerband of a 250 2T, especially if its derestricted.

I graduated from 1000's miles on a TZR125, full power with YPVS. Was riding with guys on much bigger bikes so learnt the art of corner speed and not much braking. The RGV was a natural progression, just more power + speed but same riding style. For me, it then made riding larger 4T bikes hard much easier. (don't even get me started on 50 yr old born again bikers who go out and buy the latest most powerfull CBR/R1/GSXR 1000 and wind up in the ditch on the first bend they get, 30 MPH too fast).

But if you are new to bikes, and have not come up from the full power 125cc ranks where you have been 'wringing the bike's neck' yes...be aware of the full power 250 2T powerband in mid conrners, especially if the tyres are cold.

If you just take it step by step, its a great size of bike to develop your skills on.
