You are right about it being lightweight too, as long as you stay off the big highways, or at least for me anyway. I found that even on hwy 11 it felt like I would be swept away by the transports on it! the Frozen Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03139948753341714413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742182387555035595.post-68233987323487083462016-09-26T15:37:49.647-05:002016-09-26T15:37:49.647-05:00Regarding getting another Yamaha 250, I totally ge...Regarding getting another Yamaha 250, I totally get it. I only had mine for a single season before selling mine earlier this year, and somewhat regret it. I don't have the space for two bikes, but if I did, I would have kept it around. I regularly took it for fairly long rides (Toronto to Parry sound) and never had any issues other than the one time going up my friends steep cottage driveway covered in huge golf ball sized gravel, resulting in a drop and broken clutch lever (which was temporarily fixed using JB weld until I could order up a replacement). Anyways, that bike was a lot of fun, lightweight and easy to handle compared to my current bike which is basically twice the weight. Another bike you may want to consider is the Kawasaki Vulcan 500, though you can only pick them up used.

We share the bike at the moment but are looking at getting a second one, another Yamaha (the XVS1300 Custom).Ranny Gazoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05796670133385406431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2742182387555035595.post-87547333936721237022016-07-18T07:50:08.052-05:002016-07-18T07:50:08.052-05:00That is very cool!

However, since I (plan to) travel to Canada every once in a while, I have a bike there (it lives with its co-owner in Toronto), and is being kept in ship-shape. Ok, it's no Harley either, but it is a very reliable 12 year old Honda Shadow 750 ACE. I used it for a long distance trip through Quebec and the Maritimes last year, and didn't fail me once. Maybe food for thought?SonjaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12389245948579828531noreply@blogger.com
