Point i would like to make is i have ridden many different types of motorcycles for 20 years, and like the ninja 250 the best. It is more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. I used to break the speed limit on the Concours in second gear! For me, the ninja 250 is perfect for around town, and short (less than 300 mile) riding days. Great mileage, inexpensive insurance, looks great, and it fun.
