iivvyy,
I was just reading your post with regards to lowering your bike. I just got a 08 250 and it was lowered by the previous owner (also a female). I'm curious as to how a stock 250 (not lowered) feels as I find mine to be a little to low for me (I'm 5'6). Perhaps we can meet up and check the diff on the bikes before we go out and spend $$ on getting it done.
