Get the current CBR250R or wait for the new one?

I'm planning on getting a CBR250R but Honda hasn't confirmed the launch of the new one. My sem break is next month and I had a lot planned for it (which includes a sport tourer. ) so is it better to wait for the new one or go for the current one?

1997 honda shadow vt 600?

I have a 97 honda shadow, my bike keeps turning off like it's not getting fuel. I changed out the fuel pump twice and check the fuel filter for clogging. And there's fuel going through, I aIso replaced the fuel cut off relay switch. The bike starts but when i give it gas it cuts off. I did what the dealership said to do but still having the problem. No there's no power turning on and they said there's not enough ampage going through to make the pump work. Any suggestions

Motorcycle pulls to the left?

I have a 2000 Honda Shadow 1100 Spirit. When I let go of the handlebars my bike pulls to the left. I just got two new tires mounted and balanced as well. Is this normal and should I worry? It is only when I let go (which I don't do often as I don't even have cruise control)

Which of these cruisers and tourers is most nimble, lightest and handles well?

I want to ride a motorcycle but hate maintaining one. I sold my bike for that reason - I have too many other things going on, to spend time cleaning a bike and maintaining it. So I figured I'd just rent a bike when I get the itch to ride.

Now the problem is, the only motorcycle rental near me is a fleet of Harley cruisers and massive touring bikes. I enjoy something more lightweight, nimble like an "upright bike" or a streetbike. I don't need a sportbike but an upright like a Bonneville or a V7 stone would be great. I just want to have some fun around the city streets, I don't plan to do any touring. Even an 883 would do, but the rental place doesn't have them.

So of these bikes which one would be best handling and lightest?:
- Harley FLHR Road King
- Harley Ultra Classic Electra Glide
- Harley FLHX Street Glide Special
- Harley Heritage Softail Classic
- Harley FXDC Super Glide Custom
- Honda Gold Wing 1800 Deluxe
- BMW K1600GT
- BMW R1200RT
- BMW R1200GS
- Honda ST1300 ABS

Unfortunately all of these bikes seem to be extremely tall, long, wide and heavy. Which of these do you think will come closest to what I'm looking for?

Are the Honda CBR500R and CB500F good beginner bikes?

I weigh below 120lbs and most people tell me to start out on the Honda 300. But I'm afraid I'll grow out of it within three to six months. Maybe less than three. I've heard the Honda 500 still rides easy for beginners. It can also get up to highway speeds, 60-75mph without revving up to the red line. I feel if I get a 250cc or 300cc, I'll ruin the engine by traveling at high speeds. I live in a neighborhood just off a highway. What do you think? I think I could own the Honda 500 for up to a year, maybe 9 or 10 months and then trade it in for the Honda CBR600RR or the Honda Interceptor. If I start out on a bike that's powerful but still very manageable and controllable for a beginner, I could progress to a high cc bike very fast. In the end I will definitely want the Honda CBR1000RR and a Harley cruiser. P.S. I took a look at Suzuki, Yamaha and Kawasaki bikes, I liked Honda the most for every bike they had. From the 250cc's to the 1000 cc's. I like Honda motorcycles.
