Depends on what sorts of rides you want to do, or what geng you join.


250s are fun. They are light and very tossable. But I wouldn't categorize them as very "highway capable". Even the Dominar is marginal at best on the highway. It will do the speed, but you wont do it in comfort, say anything past 130-140. You will likely grow bored of the 250 very quickly. But they are easy to ride starter bikes due to it being lightweight.


Solution, just get ANY cheap used bike, ride for a year, then get a larger bike later once you know what you want.

ZZR Bro got a real Lemon of a Dominar. But some of us find it quite ok. I put 20k on mine in one year. Caveat Emptor.
