After that, make a move up to a 500 or 650 that'll still get you 50mpg.

For your first bike buy used. No ifs, ands, or buts.

I mentioned wanting one to my boss and he laughed saying they are for women lol. Guess if I get one it would be the 650.

i was thinking of learning to ride, mainly to save gas on my commute and use HOV. but hadn't considered that the 250 wouldn't be stable on the highway.. dang. that and I still can't get the fear of getting swiped out there. It's almost a daily event in my car...

Do you base all of your buying decisions on the stupid opinions of others?

There are no bikes built and sold just for women, but there are plenty of men who measure their ego by the size of their car or bike.

Ride what you want, and don't suffer fools.
