Bro. I am also in 201 area. Where did you take your course and how much was it?

I went to the HD dealer in Rochelle Park. I believe it was $300 give or take a few dollars. The classroom was on the second floor of the dealership and the riding range was by that UPS lot in Saddle Brook.

how much money is truly saved in copping during winter?
Looking to by a kawi 250 for a starter (I don't like the look of the CBRs)
I'm thinking i'd probably get a 2010/2011 hopefully at a dece price (in canada) probably around 2500. i'm not really sure what to expect or whats a good price. None of my friends ride out here but if i can save a significant amount by buying now I will.

Can't really say exactly how much. But people are usually pressed to move them right after the holidays. But the big thing is the availability of bikes. There's way more options during the winter and command less bread. If u try to cop come mid summer the pickings aren't as good also.

If you're buying used, you can always find a good deal in the winter. Demand isn't there and people are usually looking to sell.
Also, a 250 is a waste of money. Just get a 600.

I'd say do the msf course if you got one close by. You'll be tired of the 250 by the end of the weekend.

+1 on the get a 600 train. I really want a 600, but I gotta get my money right. I started (and am still on) a 500 and I think I'm ready for more. That's not to say I'm bored of it, but I think my riding skill has developed enough to warrant the jump. My MSF actually had me learn on a 500 and before I got my bike I would practice on my uncle's 250. I felt like it was a big difference.
That being said, you might love a 250. My uncle loves his and he's had it for 4+ years now. But he mainly uses it for commuting locally and he hardly goes for long rides like I do with my father and brother. Size of the bike definitely depends on what you intend to do with it. I think 600 is a good balance.

I'm thinking of selling my CBR and copping an S1000 when I get back from my deployment. Anybody have experience with those?

The reason I'm thinking a 250 is because insurance will be significantly cheaper from what I understand. Plus I live downtown toronto so it's not like I have a lot of amazing roads to ride on. Not unless it's night time.
And i only weigh 155

The best rider in the world is 130 lbs soaking wet.
What's your point? If u want a 250cc get one. It's all about what u feel confident. Move up as you feel ready.
Check cycle gear for sales. I really like the online shop. Check for the sales. There's no need to buy the top of the line when first riding.
Cyclegear.com
For winter mods, I would do some really good tires. Ct3/pilot power road are good all weather tires.
For a cheap slip on under 3 would be jardine.

Everything I've heard and read is that it's damn near the same bike as the CBR. Not sure if anything has change in the last year or two.

Same in what ways? I'll admit I haven't really done any extensive research into it so far.

Anyone have any experience with Vega helmets? My boy is asking my opinion on it and I told him I've never even heard of the company. It's DOT certified though so I said it's probably okay. I told him the higher priced helmets typically have more features and whatnot so he shouldn't expect much from a helmet going for $60.
