 so i have two of these:
 
 
 
 if you do the 80cc big-bore kit they're as fast as a ninja 250, and they murder the kawi/honda 250's on handling because they're 100lbs lighter, and derived from the junior-class MotoGP bikes, not just designed to be the cheapest sportbike possible.
 
 see also: Aprilia RS50
 
 here's photos from a group ride i went on back in May with a few other guys that have similar bikes:
 
 past:
 1989 325is (learner shitbox)
 1986 325e (turbo dorito)
 1991 318ic (5-lug ITB)
 1985 323i baur
 current:
 1995 M3 (suspension, 17x9/255-40, borla)Comment

 Honda's got 3 new 500 bikes, if that's what you're after.
 
 none of them weigh 200lbs like the Derbi/Aprilia, though- think of it as the motorcycle equivalent of a Lotus Elise.past:

 we're the same height, but haha, yeah, you probably don't want a bike that weighs less than you do- i'm only a buck sixty so i'm fast on my little flyweights.
 
 i was looking at one of these at SFMoto when i was thinking of upgrading:
 
 
 
 the classifieds at BARF (linked earlier) are also a good place to shop- good community over there.past:
