Hi all, I'm looking for a first bike, something under 500CC, I like the EX250, but maybe I could use a little more power? I'm experienced on cycles, just not on road ones. Recommendations?

Welcome!!!!
EX500
Suzuki GS500

Those would be my thoughts. If you wanna stay in the sporty world.

If you live in another country other than the US and are restricted to a 250 at first also look at the GSXR250 two stroke http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/yumyum.gif

How's about an Aprilia RS 50 and work the motor till you push 85mph?
