Looking at a 250.

Hi guys,

30 year old male from Scarborough.
Just finished the Learning Curves M1 exit course. WOW.
Way worth the money. Even without the potential insurance savings.

I do not currently own a bike.
I have my eye on the Honda CBR250R and the CRF250L.
I was thinking about a KLR 650, but the insurance premium is not worth it for me.
I would prefer the dual sport for the more straight seating posture, and for taking it on to some narlier roads.
I am pretty handy and don't mind tinkering and troubleshooting.
Although generally I prefer reliability and ease of maintenance;
I drive a Corolla and a Camry, after all..
I am not in a rush to buy.
I wonder if it is true about the winter specials on bikes?


I am looking mostly to commute, some 401 (sparingly) with mostly street driving.
Fuel economy and insurance premiums are primary concerns.
Secondarily, I would prefer injected rather than carburated to get going quick without preheat, and for the fuel economy.
ABS/CBS would be nice but I can live with standard brakes.
Also, I would hope the stator has enough output to run some heated grips or gloves for those cooler months.


So far my experience has been a friend's VFR 800. I find that bike a bit heavy and somewhat overpowered for what I'm looking for.
During the course, we had little 125CBRs. The first day I thought they were a bit under powered. On the second day, the little 125 grew on me.I weight 240 pounds. I also will need the bike to lug around a tool box that is another 20 pounds or so ( maybe once or twice a month).

I can also entertain alternatives.
Thanks guys.
