Where are you from? US? Check your local Craigslist. They are usually filled with bikes for sale. What year range are you looking for? And price range? There's lots of variables when you're on the market for any vehicle .

250= good beginner bike....... Fast enough n light n nimble....:thumb::thumb:
650= also a good bike, but...... u screw up....accidentally twist that throttle a bit...ur going for a bad ride......
It's 80 pounds heavier.......less nimble......:dance:
250----- well in time u may outgrow it.....specially if ur gunna do much double up with ur chic.......:whistling:
650- it will be much longer outgrowing it......:thumb:
If u don't wreck it.....:facepalm:
Will be much better at double up.....:dance:
I have a 650........n after about 10 years of not driving a bike ( was into ATVing them years)..I took it real-real easy with the bike....
I'm older n if I didn't use my head I know i would of wrecked it good.
Just takes hitting that pothole wrong...n.....ur up on one wheel with the accidental twist of the throttle....
Be carefull with whatever u decide.....:thumb::thumb:

Ya they both have there UPS and downs. And IM leaning more to the 650r since I don't want to swap bikes after 2 months... But 250s are cheaper which is always nice... And also IM from Mesa, AZ.

Good choice man. Stay safe and take your time learning to ride. Dont try to keep up with others. Ride at your own pace

Cool, how's it ride. I too am floating with the idea of getting 650. I am thinking the ER6N though.

Hey. Whats you opinion on how similar or dis similar they are just so everyone on the forum can see your side of this matter

Grats on the 650. That's where i started for a few reasons...

I'm tall and the 250 felt cramped to me (even though there are people taller than me that feel fine on the 250 *cough* spooh *cough*).
I wanted to ride 2up.
Hills, lots of them around here.
I don't crave super speed although the 650 can get fast.

What year did you get?
