I wouldn't go minimalist unless I crash and ruin the plastics. Even then, I'd go ask Chris's friend Seti for some tips on fairing repair. Word on the street is he's pretty good at that.


I want a 300 at some point. Or one of them newfangled Yami's that are in the rumormill. Or whatever small sport bike KTM has in the works. Or or or or or!!!! I want all the motorcycles!
Glad to hear you're sticking with the small displacements. I feel kinda sad when ninjetters buy giant, heavy supersports; it's like they've left us!

I'm totally prejudice though. I've never ridden anything bigger than a 500CC standard. All the things I love about my ninja are worse on bigger bikes though. I love that it's light. I love that I can work it hard even on a ride to work. I love that it's quite a raw bike - simple - breaks, engine, throttle and not many robots in between. I love that it gets pretty good fuel mileage despite the fact that I'm heavy on the throttle and heavy on the breaks.

I'm jealous of how the scooters can more easily nip between cars and tight spots than I can. It must be a nightmare on bigger bikes.

I think the only thing that draws me to the bigger bikes is the sounds. MMmmm
