Hi. Need sifu opinion.
1st time planning to ride 250cc. Used to ride 150 cc old kawasaki victor.
I've been dreaming of the design of superbike especially kawasaki ninja. But the seller informed me that superbike is more suitable to those travelling long distance or very much on high way.
My purpose is for traveling between city area and during peak time. So the seller said I shld get naked bike. !!
I'm pening now & very confuse. Unable to make decision. Can someone pls advice me the pro & cons for both bike. Tq very much.
I was understood by someone who has had ridden superbikes and touring bikes all his life, said that the ergonomics of a superbike isn't really suitable for long journeys; you have your weight on your arms and your back is doing a lot of the work supporting your upper body. You're basically leaned down onto the tank, when a proper posture would be almost straight up or even laid back (choppers).
For twisties, a sportsbike is what you want.

Although that said, some sports bikes may have a more touring ride position. Have to ask bike experts to tell you which is it, or whether there are any in the 250 category.
