Pros:
Upright seating position. Economical to run. Has a trip meter. Flexible indicator - in case they get bumped.
Cons:
Nothing.
Overall:
Good as a commuter or on a trip. Handles well. Good for tall people. Good for beginners. It's the same bike at the training and licensing venue.
Pros:
It's a honda so the engine should last a long time. They are cheap to but second hand.
Cons:
It's not a cruzer, its not a sport, its not a tourer, it wont fit into any particular catogory. Its slow to get moving, and top speed is nothing to write home about.
Overall:
The CB250 is a strange bike that is a little of every type of bike, but great at nothing. They are a temporary bike for a learner to keep for a year, then sell to buy something they can use. For this reason, they can be a little thrashed when you look at them second hand. The seating position has a tourer feel with your lower half, and a cruser with your top half. All that said, if you dont know what you want to buy next, the CB250 may be a good buy. My personal opinion, if you know what you want to ride when your off of your "L"'s there are many other bikes that will suit your riding styles until you get there.
Overall:
Cheap hassle free motorcycling. It starts in the wet no probems and is comfortable to ride. A good seating position for other drivers to see you.
