Thanks Snake i love the new little Ninja its fun and nimble,new 2017 redesign is what got me to buy it (also silly Australian provisional licensing).I have plans to get a Ninja 300 in future when my financial situation gets a tad better
My husband thinks im insane for wanting both |

Does he ride? It's hard to imagine a motorcycle rider who doesn't want more than one.
From what I've read about it, the new 650 looks like a really good choice. I'd be interested in hearing a comparison of your 250 with your 650. |

Yeah,these new 650s are really good looking! I was just reading up a little on them in RRW.Im never in the market at a good time though,and want too many different bikes in order to decide on just 1

I jave just finished the break in period,bike handles just as easy as 250.I love the adjustable levers that come stock on bike.It accelerates a tad quicker than 250 (to be expected).Seat height is in the same range as 250.I dislike the lack of ability to whack on the slip on not sure if I'll opt for a full system since ill be advancing to zx10r when I get my full license.In Australia the 650l comes with throttle restriction (will get rid of that some time soon).Previous versions used to have ecu restrictor too,unsure if this one does.Will do a more through review after my 1600ks of break in is up.But from what I've been able to see so far this bike is amazing.From a sporty or touring perspective.It can do it all.

I hated that when I went to Australia. They recognized my US motorcycle endorsement so I didn't have to take the class, but still made me ride a sub 250 for a year before I could get unlimited. (that was back in 1995) I picked up a used XR250 for riding in the desert. Rode that for a year before I picked up an old 1984 GPZ900. Then in 1997 picked up a CBR1100XX Blackbird. That was fun out in the NT with no speed limits. Hear they have changed that now.
