I have just recently bought my second MC19- I am in love with them. (2nd one had a genuine 11,000km on the clock and was completely unmodified)
I am a barely 5 foot tall 20 year old girl so I needed to find a bike that was very low and pretty light(that wasn't a cruiser)
The CBR runs great, we can find a lot of spare parts for it- new and old (having a dad that owns a motorcycle shop really helps in that department), it is great for little trips around town but is also comfortable for the longer rides (5+ hours) and on the highway.
Although it is only a 250cc, I am already passing the bigger bikes around twisties 'cause it is so light. No, it wont keep up with a big bike on the straits, but corners are more fun anyway :P I have ridden a few other bikes including a 1993 CBR 400, and I still prefer the 250 because of its size.
It comfortably sits on 120km + on the highways and when pushing it will scream along at 185km + in 6th gear.
There is nothing I would change about this bike at all. I love it
