First bike was a Honda 500 Interceptor in 1986.
Then I bought a 1990 Yamaha FZR400 and went roadracing.
Current bike just went up for sale in Craigslist. A 2002 Yamaha R1.
I want a street fighter. A supermoto. The Yamaha WR250x appeals as does the Suzuki DR-Z400SM.
Will I be lost on a 250cc? Or even a 400CC after coming off a liter sportbike like the R1?
I'm 45 years old. Not a stunter. Not a speed-freak. At least not anymore.
I'd like a cross between a light bike, that gets good to great gas milage, with quick handling and easy to maintain.
I read where the WR250X requires high octane gas. Is that true?????
I think my R1 calls for that but I've never put anything but regular octane in it and never had a problem.
I live in Delaware - USA. Mid-Atlantic region.
Glad to be here. Hope to find some valuable advice.
