Greetings all and well wishes. Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself: 30+ year motorcyclist. Currently wrenching on a '74 Honda CB450, canyon carving on a '87 Ducati Paso 750 and commuting everyday a new Kawasaki 2017 W.T.E. EX300. I expect to put 10K miles/year on the Ninja. Mods so far: high flow air filter, carbon fiber wrapped exhaust can w/additional baffle, gear shift indicator. Waiting on a fender eliminator and shorty adjustable levers. Lusting for floating front rotor, clip-ons, rearsets and a 120/70/17 front hoop. Purchased steel brake lines and tapered steering head bearing to be installed at the 7K mile valve check at the dealer. Using the $15 CD ROM service manual to take care of basic maintenance.

First impressions: Very capable of being ridden hard, and it excels in traffic and in the twisties. The bike does everything with great aplomb. I am so pleased, it is so agile, maneuverable, fast and comfortable.
