Is there Frame slides i can get for it? this is my first bike with EFI. any thing i should know about the bike? more coming once i ride the bike. ill get some photoes soon...(but you all have seen what they look like)
Sounds like a good deal Have a look here http://www.xcitebikes.com.au/cbr250r-11-13/ http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?resources/categories/cbr250-mc41.21/
$2k is definitely a good price. There are plenty of accessories available for these bikes including frame sliders. As far as reliability goes, make sure you lube the chain, put fuel in it and go for a ride. I've owned 2 and never had a single issue.
I miss my 2011! Panels/parts are cheap enough I never bothered to look for sliders. Check the valves if it stalls out at odd times, it's a known issue. I can tell you the Leo Vince GP Corsa exhaust is LOUD. I put woodcraft rear-sets on mine, even at 6'2" with them adjusted all the way up and back I found the bike to be quite comfortable for as compact as it is. If it still has IRC's on it, I found them to feel like rocks. I'm wanting to say I put a set of Perelli Sport Demons on it. They hooked up quite well at the track.
