Good thread.
Enjoyed reading all the posts. I have 3 bikes in the garage and the 2008 Ninja is my commuter bike of choice. The other bikes are a 1200 Bandit and an 1100 Guzzi. The lightweight flickable Ninja is my bike of choice in city traffic. It doesn't have the punch of my liter bikes but makes up for that in manueverability. Great brakes and suspension, good looks too. My bigger bikes are what I'll use for performance and/or long distance riding but I've done 200 mile day rides with the ninjette and I'm very pleased with its open road performance. I find the mid range of 40 to 80 MPH to be truely impressive for such a small motor.
Cheers, Bill
