But I hope I'm not a stereotypical Harley dude. My wife wants to ride so we just bought a 2005 ZZR 250 for her to learn on. I'm mostly here for the technical stuff as I have to get the bike running after the PO put it in storage for two years. It fired up after we did the basics but it isn't revving from idle so I have to look at the carbs and replace the battery. It's pretty tight in there under the seat, not what I'm used to with my other bikes, but I'll get there. I already know I hate the airbox. Is an upgrade to K&Ns or similar worth it?

Edit: And to be clear, we may see this bike as a "starter", we mean no insult, and my daughter is also eyeing it up rather a lot so we may be a 250 Ninja family for a while.
