Well, I haven't had the Virago 250 for long (bought it in July) but I'm already bored with it, I'm trying to sell it on craigslist as I write this. I topped it out at 70MPH and can't get it any faster than that. I'm not looking to blaze trails, but I want a bike that's safe enough to catch up with the flow of traffic on the highway, like during rush-hour.
I rode an EX500 for a weekend and that was fun, and real fast compared to my bike, but also really shaky on lousy roads. It built my confidence in that I can at least handle a bike bigger than mine. So next season, if I can afford it, I think I'm gonna buy one of those new V-Star 950's. I thought about a 650, but I think I'd rather have a big large enough so I can comfortably take a passenger and some luggage. Now that I've been riding, big bikes don't seem as big anymore.
And, most likely, the riding season is officially over. We had some flurries today.

The starting and stopping is, but cornering can still has room for improvement; I tend to scrape my pegs a lot.
