Agreed - would make much more sense to have your lessons on the bike you will be riding after your test if you already own it. However sometimes it is also a matter of convenience to use the Riding School's bike rather than having them come past and collect you (some Schools will charge additional for this time). But riding a CB250 is totoally different from a 250 sports style bike - and not necessarily easier to ride if you are used to the pegs set back on the bike compared to the forward peg location on the CB250 - bloddy horrible bike to ride in my opinion
