Advantages: Styling, Riding position, Handling

Disadvantages: Small capacity fuel tank

Having only passed my bike test last year (2001), i was looking for a 250cc cruiser that suited my needs.
When i first saw the XV250 my jaw hit the ground, the chrome work was outstanding and had the styling to match it.
Having previously owned a Kawazaki Eliminator 250cc, the first thing i noticed was the nimble handling and how easy it was to corner. It proves that not all baby cruisers are "all show and no go".
The only down side is the small capacity fuel tank. It lasted me only 60 miles and only 10 miles were on the motorway.
The riding position allows people of a smaller frame but still provides enough comfort for me and i'm 5' 11"...
As far as 250cc baby cruisers go, this is the best choice by far for comfort, styling, handling and ease of maintenance.

Hi and welcome to dooyoo. I would have liked to have rated your opinion higher, but you didn't give me much information about your bike. Have a read around the site, particularly premier opinions, and you will see what is needed for higher ratings and then more reads. Enjoy yourself.
