Motorbike bulb wattage and indicators flashing faster?

I have a honda motorbike that takes 12v 21w indicator bulbs

one bulb blew so nearest place i could get bulbs only had
12v 10w bulbs so i bought 2 bulbs and replaced both front bulbs
with 12v 10w

as i had only just bought the bike i'm wondering does the fact that i replaced 21w bulbs with 10w bulbs

make the indicators flash faster

i have some people say yes and others say no it's only the electrical draw the bulb takes and dosent effect the speed of the indicators flashing

Good starting motorcycle?

I'm totally new to motorcycles in general. I'm 18 and plan on getting one for summer time to save gas. I'm not out looking for a thrill and I have slightly simple tastes. I have been looking around for a 250 and the prices are higher and I can't really find the "Cafe racer" style I want. I found an '01 250 Honda Nighthawk that isn't bad though. The guy wants $1900 though. On the other hand I found an awesome Honda Cm 450 for only $975. Just wondering the pros and cons of each. I will be learning partially on a dirt bike before riding either and I'm a very cautious person. It's not like I will be seeing how fast I can go. Just curious what you think. I'll post the links to the two bikes below.

Added (1). The 250 says low miles and the 450 says 17k miles. Both "say" they run great.

Yamaha and Honda duel sport modles?

I've been looking at buying a duel sport motorcycles for the concept of the bikes. I really like the newer crf250l and wx250r, but they were introduced in 2013 and I'm against buying new vehicles. I was hoping you guys that have had duel sports could list the Honda and Yamaha models from 2000-2010 so i could research them. Or you could possibly talk me into buying one of the newer crf250l or wx250r

Legally define a 49CC dirt bike as a Moped?

The California laws says that in order for a vehicle to count as a moped it has A "motorized bicycle" or "moped" is:

A two or three-wheeled device, capable of no more than 30 mph on level ground, and equipped with:

- Fully operative pedals for human propulsion.
- A motor producing less than two gross brake horsepower and an automatic transmission.
- An electric motor, with or without pedals for human propulsion. (CVC
Driver must have a motorcycle license (M1 or M2).

A "motorized bicycle" is also defined as a vehicle with pedals and an electric motor (not more than 1,000 watts) which can't be driven at speeds of more than 20 mph on level ground even if assisted by human power. (CVC
If you operate a motorized bicycle which meets the definition of CVC you:

- Must be 16 years of age or older.
- Must wear a properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmet.
- Are exempt from the motor vehicle financial responsibility, driver license, and moped plate requirements (CVC
A motorized bicycle is issued special license plates and identification cards, which requires a one-time $18 fee. No renewal is required.

Therefore, when I turn 16, can I ride my 50CC honda z on the road. It can't go faster than 30mph, It has pedals welded on the side, and a automatic transmission. It also (of course) proudces less than 2 horsepower. Could I ride it on the road? Are there any restrictions?
