Great starter bike
By Erin Cardinal(Owner), Nov. 14, 2008
This little Yamaha is fantastic for what it is - a 250. So don't think you're going to take it out on the highway and keep up with 70 mph traffic, unless you weigh 90 lbs. and the road is all downhill. But this is the best choice if you're looking for a first bike to build confidence and learn rid...

Woderful ride
By Robert Francis(Owner), Jan. 3, 2012

No major problems with any of them!
Unlike the other review, I've had great results with the Lifan.
All three bikes will travel a... Read Full Review

Perfect Commuter and Trainer
By Kari(Owner), Sep. 26, 2013
I've owned my Virago 250 for about one year and put over 1500 miles on it. I bought it to teach two of our children (son and daughter) how to ride (I've been riding for over 35 years). It is light and nimble. The throttle and brakes are progressive, the suspension forgiving, and the clutch pull i...
