Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread aka North America Home Owners Association Thread
I've looked at 250s before, but I'd certainly never buy one new. The value is pretty much stabilized on the 80's ones so it's pretty easy to buy one, ride it for a while, and resell for pretty much what you paid for it when it's time to upgrade.
I'll say I'm not a very aggressive rider and a 250 would be fine for me, but although I've ridden a lot, I've never had a bike of my own to ride consistently. A season with the same bike every day would probably make me outgrow it.
