Good Price on this Motorcycle?

I used to have an Aprillia RS125, what a little pocket rocket that thing was and it was fucking awesome fun leaning into the winding corners up here in Scotland.
Sure, in a straight line race most cars outpaced me in no time at all, but that wasn't the point - i got the bike for fun in the summer and for sunday runs.
I also drove about 800 miles on it to the south of England, and not at any point on the motorway did i feel like i was going too slow compared to the cars.... probably because i wasnt 'trying' to race them.
I now have a BMW 320d, sure its a hell of a lot faster than the Aprillia was but it sure aint as much fun on the corners!! (unless its wintertime,in which the RWD is a LOT of fun, sometimes brown pants scary fun).
Dont listen to the A-Holes telling you its not fast enough and all that BS, they miss the point entirely. And just for the record, i've lost 3 good friends who were avid bikers and just couldnt seem to restrain themselves from getting a faster and faster bike, until the point came where they miscalculated and ended up hitting a tree at 150+ mph.
It's not a case of 'if' you crash when you get a bike, its 'when' and 'how'.

What's the point of videos like this? Showing you have a bike, and you wear a helmet?
Why not strap the cam to your bike and have some fun. This is BHF April 2009.

because I had my iphone with me, and took a video? And then posted it in this thread, because its about motorcycles?
i'm ordering a RAM mount for my iphone so i can take video while riding, sorry to disappoint.
If you have 0 riding experience, I would stick to something smaller for your first bike. This coming from someone who has over 10 years riding experience, and has owned/ridden lots of different bikes.
Apart from the RS250 being AWESOME you need to remember it's a 2-stroke, so it's equivalent of a 4-stroke 500c. You can get pretty similar performance out of one as you can from an SV650. It'll also power wheelie, and if you're not careful, it'll dump you in a corner if you chop the throttle. They are a bitch to get licensed in the states and cops will still pull you over and ticket you for it if you're not careful.
I want one. I picked up an 09 RS125 and would love to put a newer model RS250 next to it.
