I did all my long rides on the Ninjette from July 2013 up till last September, when I rolled over 100k. She's now sleeping soundly in the garage until next month when I can take her back East one last time.

The little Ninja is a great mount for serious rides.
Wow, this little squirt of a bike has the heart of a lion. I just bought a 2007 two months ago. I just did a valve adjustment on it and I'd rather shovel feces against the tide or pick fly specks out of pepper than do another one. 100k miles? I've never even seen a motorcycle with that kind of mileage on it - never mind it's only a 250. I remember some guy saying the 250 Ninja has a "disposable" engine. Bullroar. I think it's one of the best engine designs ever - but not much fun to work on.

Cheers,

Bill
