Should i upgrade to a honda cbr250?

I currently ride a 2007 honda rebel 250, i've been having it for 2 years. I learned to ride it and got my license with it. I stopped riding for about 7 months, but i've been riding everyday for the past 3 months and i feel like i've gotten used to it already. I can easily maneuver the honda rebel in traffic etc. I never liked cruiser styled bikes, i've always preferred sportier bikes. I didn't start on the honda cbr250 because of the high seat height (i'm a 19year old 5'1 girl) and i wasn't comfortable without being able to put both feet down at every stop. Now, most of the time i stop with only one foot on the ground. And if i get the cbr250, i would have it lowered 1 or 2 inches.

Do you think i'm ready to get the cbr? Or should i just stick with the rebel even though i hate its style?
is the cbr harder to ride because its a sport bike?

Honda cbr 954 not starting?

Ok so I've got a 2003 honda cbr 954 that won't start. I've had this problem once before, and I fixed it by jiggling wires under the seat, but this time it's not cutting it. It has the following symptoms:

When I put the key in and turn it on, the digital display will come on but there will be no backlight to it

The oil symbol stays on the screen, but all others go out

The red warning light stays on

My headlight won't turn on, even if I put high beams on, not even the symbol will appear

My turn signals won't work, but in the back both my turn signals are constantly lit up along with my break light (it's one led unit)

When I flip on the kill switch, my fuel pump doesn't prime

When I try to start it, it turns over (cranks) but won't start

I've checked all my fuses and they all are fine. Like I said, last time this happened, I put on the kill switch, jiggled the wires until I heard the fuel pump prime my headlight turn on and my high beam symbol come on, and then it cranks right up. I've also had it twice to where the bike will just shutoff and show the same symptoms, but then clear itself up.

I'm really thinking its a loose wire, but I've moved and jiggled everywhere I can get to without taking my tank off and this time I can't seem to get it.

Does this sound like a loose wire? Is there a wire/place you could recommend I look?

I'm really curious what this could be, it's driving me nuts that I can't fix it!

What's a good 50cc moped/scooter that's easily modable and fairly fast?

Recently an old moped I built myself with a friend has broken and I'm in the market for a new one. I need it to reach speeds of 40-50 Because of the roads I use to commute and I like fast bikes who doesn't. I was looking at the Honda ruckus but I haven't heard good things about it being a good road bike, I need the bike to be able to make it across some main roads for a couple miles so if anyone knows if the ruckus is reliable at 40-50 mph please inform below. If anyone knows of any other models to look into that would also be appreciated.

Then when we put it in and took it out again there was about and oz of oil on the bed of the truck? Then once i put it away i checked it and there was 1 drop on the floor and now no more it looks like its coming out of a little black pipe thats coming out of the engine and had a little hole at the end of it kinda like the one little rubber pipe that lets gass leak. But on the back of the engine, but i don't know if its supoosed to leak oil out of that little rubber pipe. I have a 2003 honda cr85

1984 Honda Magna V45 - No power to fuel pump?

Bike was riding fine, then 1 day died on interstate. Got it home and was checking over a few parts. I was getting spark and proper air, so I checked to see if I had gas to carbs… None. I replaced the fuel cut relay and still nothing. I used a multimeter to check if I was getting power to fuel pump - I was not getting any power to pump. I took out fuel pump and tested it outside of bike and nothing. So I bought a new pump. Installed it and I'm still not getting an electricity to pump.

I was going over the electrical diagram thinking I had a short somewhere. I tracked the power from the battery through the system until it got to fuel pump. Along the way, I noticed that power goes into the low fuel sensor first. I was getting 12v to the sensor and nothing coming out. I hooked up the power wire to the sensor and test the other connector and I was now getting 12v coming out… Until I hooked the wire back up then I lost all power again.

Why would I have 12v going into the sensor and when I test the other prong, I get 12v until I hook the wire back up to that prong? I'm trying to avoid buying more parts until I really find out the root cause. I check all other connections for proper voltage and all is good except in the area of the low fuel sensor. I replaced all the connectors since the old ones were a bit rusty and I even ran a new wire (in this case it is the green wire from the fuel sensor to the fuel pump connector). Still no power.

Please assist!

What's a good first motorcycle?

I'm looking for my first cheap, reliable motorcycle to get me into the city each day and back. I don't know much about them but I don't want anything too powerful so a 250 of some sort and preferably a japanese made bike such as yamaha and honda etc. I really like the retro/classic style bikes but I don't want it too old.
Please help me out as I don't know where to even begin looking really.
