Still have the Ninja for now, but no, not missing out on riding it. Getting comfortable on the Honda and finding that I can do just that bit "more" that the Ninja lacked. I've ridden the Ninja a few times since I broke the 100k miles on it, and each time I end up thinking "Damn, this bike is small!" and while I settle back into riding it easily and smoothly, I end up missing the advantages that I see the Honda having over it.

Maybe if I had made a larger jump from the Ninja to whatever, I would find myself missing more things about it. But the CB500X, IMO, took what I love about the Ninja and added just that little bit more to make it perfect for me.
