Downgrading but I'm back!
My motorcycle history has been Aprilia 250, F3 600, 2006 636 ZX6R, 2008 ZX6R, and now a 2013 CBR 250R Mugen ed. Honda.
This is because I live abroad now and I am currently in Thailand. The weather here is a dream for motorcycling and so many twisties and great great sights. I wanted a big bike of course, but as this is my daily commuter and the traffic and city riding is perfect for a nimble 250.
pic of how the bike looks like, it's only made here in Thailand so it's pretty cool and I got a real good deal on it.
And did I mention it is a Honda and not like my past Ninjas (but oh how much I miss them!). Safe riding all! I'm going to travel all around SEA with this baby.

YO RICE! Wow you became a mod. Or were you always a mod? I don't think so.
It cannot hit 100 and redline comes up fast but it was a real joy going through the turns in my trip from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. And going through traffic in the city with the baby cbr is like hot knife through butter (cept I don't touch the butter). In the future I will definitely get a 600 but I will keep this bike for running errands and commuting to my school.
It's a head turner too so that is a plus.
Oh, but the worst thing is...it really does sound like a lawn mower. >_<

Yeah, Thailand has some crazy helmets and chinese brands I have never heard of. There is a funny brand that has the same brand design as shoei but it's called INDEX (garbage).
Mine is a GSB hybrid helmet made in China that they sell here. I got it for the free tinted visor (scratches like crazy though) and the big mouth vent (cuz it's unbelievably hot here).
helmet pics below for ya!
