If you have a relatively short commute <10 min. You are going to have a problem with the battery not fully charging by the time you get there. If you plan on an out-of-the way return trip that is >30 min that should be enough to keep the batt charged. Also, since g-ville is a college town bike theft is rampant. The uglier pre-gen is less of a theft magnet.

Ninja 250 is well suited for a low speed commute. 20 mph is 2nd or 3rd. Is quite and smooth.
