[QUOTE]Originally posted by Rio1999GT: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by EVLSONC: [qb] I recently had the same idea. I was tired of driving the cobra everyday an getting 12-14 mpg. Was looking at getting a bike just to ride to work. Took the msf course which was really worth it and I recommend you take it. After that I initially looked at 250's because of the great mileage and they are a lot cheaper. A lot of people told me not worth it. I ended up picking up an 03 cbr600rr and love it. I've been riding it everyday for the past year. Gear is really important. I have a vented leather jacket that is great for the summer cuz you can feel the breeze only around your armpits because you will get hot! I also have a rain jacket for the winter which I have been wearing a lot lately. Riding in the rain is not that bad. Just be careful and take it easy. I fill up every 2 weeks which cost about 11 bucks. I get between 30-40 mpg depending on my riding which I really can't complain about. Hondas and yamahas are really good bikes. 600 is all you need. I feel the bike has a good amount of power but with my style of riding which is mostly communing I don't use it all. Another good bike is the ninja 650r. More of a commuting bike at 50+ mpg but still looks like a street bike. Good luck. Buy now before prices go up as it gets warmer. [/qb][/QUOTE]Thanks. I'll look into the 650r! It would be nice to get 90+ MPG on bigger bikes like the newer CBR250 and 250r lol, but I'd be content with 50+ [/QB][/QUOTE]
