I will never get rid of my 08 ninja. Or my 88 my 2010 or the 07 . Well I could part with my 07 but no one wants it. The 88 is in pieces and the 10 is wrecked. And I would part with them. But not the 08.

Can't. I had to sell it to afford the too-good-to-pass-up deal I got on my GSX-R.

Seriously... it was too good to pass up.

Plus, while there's room in my garage for two motorcycles, I'm not sure there's room in my marriage for two motorcycles. I haven't tested that concept as yet, but 29 years of marriage have honed my survival instincts to a keen edge.

I miss it all the time. Really wish I could have kept it.

Still need to find my second motor for when my current one with 75,000 miles finally does die. I think 150,000-200,000 miles out of my ninja will just about justify me picking up a new 50+ mpg ride and starting the RojoRacing modify processes all over again.

No idea how long I'll keep this particular one in the garage, but if history is any guide, I'll likely swap it for a new one the next time Kawi makes a significant update to the bike.

I've got a bigger bike... I've got the skill for a bigger bike... I've blown 2 engines... I've tacoed the frame until the wheel alignment was off by a whole 2 inches.

I guess that leaves cold dead hands?

Sold one, the 2001 is for sale, neither the wife or I really fit well on the little bikes. I really enjoyed it, but I rotate though bikes and cars so quickly, it's normal anyway.

^ this

my '01 is on it's second frame and second engine...so technically it's more finesse's old '99 than my '01 now

I've only blown the engine on it once though, but I do have a 300 as well and I know I'll pretty much always have at least one of the small displacement options (that R3 is pretty tempting for street and the rc390 for track) in my fleet

therefore I'll go with cold dead hands I'll always have one even if I give up on street riding and only ride track

None of those answers really fits me.

I started riding a long time ago. I've had bigger and faster bikes, but stopped riding 14 years ago.

I bought 2 ninjettes. One for me and one for my 16 year old daughter that wanted to learn how to ride. It's great to have similar bikes. But I will probably replace them in a couple years as her skills grow and we are eventually planning a cross country ride. While I know it is possible on a ninjette, I'd prefer to be back on a bigger bike. Probably a sport tour or adventure bike. Then again I may just keep the little bikes around even if I do get a bigger one.

Haha I like the people who voted "until my engine blows up" . That's awesome.

I always get asked what size my bike is. People guess 750... and 600.... When I say 250 they are usually disappointed.

I usually feel pressure to get a bigger bike. Although a CBR600rr makes me and a NSR50 is super fun, my logic tells me to keep this bike. It's the perfect in-between, not too heavy for me but not too tiny, handles well, goes 100mph, gives me great mpg, is PAID OFF AND CHEAP TO REPAIR AND MAINTAIN, will last, and I like the look!

KEEPING. I think it's often an ego thing.

Shooting for at least 100k before I get a second bike, then it'll be until the engine blows up. Not sure yet if I want to try shoving a 300 in there next or maybe trying to get a larger engine to fit, maybe a 500 or 650?

As soon as I made the poll I realised I should have included the option:
"I'll give it up when a newer model ninjette catches my fancy."
and...
"I'll give it up when another small displacement bike catches my fancy."

I voted 1st blown engine. I think, when that happens I'll get another almost-new, small displacement bike. At present the Ninja 300 is my favourite of the bunch. It's basically a slightly uglier (IMO!), but improved Ninja 250!

I'll get rid of it in a couple years when I have time and money to buy something newer and/or whenever my riding needs change. For now, I enjoy riding and tinkering with the little bike.

why the r3? why not the KTM RC390 or the ninja 300?

here are my thoughts:
I love the style and gas capacity on the 300.
I love the performance and suspension on the 390
I hate the brakes on the 300, but can upgrade.
I hate the gas capacity on the 390..
the 390 looks ok.
the suspension on 300 needs modified.

R3
Best looking, minus the turn signals
love the features on the display

The R3 is the best of the bunch between the three

the RC390 is a track toy, it's best there but the fuel range kills it a bit for street use
the ninja 300 is the best street bike of the three but falls short on the track to the other two

R3 is best of both worlds, and my favorite between the three as well (I don't like single cylinders, twins feel much better to me)

I'm keeping my ninjette until...
I can see well enough to be a safe rider.
I may give it away to a young rider with the right attitude to learn after that point.
Having the opportunity to personally train that rider to enjoy a life of motorcycling would be extremely satisfying to me.

I've been eyeing a sumo, also interested in the FZ-07. I think my small sport bike days may be numbered, depending on how my situation turns out; job, location, vehicle storage, etc. That R3 has my attention though.

I have had bigger bikes. They are great. I would love an Aprilia Millie R or another VFR.

I am sticking with the 250. I just fixed my 2010 and it's ready for inspection tag and title. I have a pile of parts. And everything is on eBay.
I have a nitrous whore. Fastest 250 on earth. The turbo yet to be . A stock 07 (last year for that body). And an 88 I will make a cafe racer from. All are junk with work put into them. But I know them inside and out. So they are easy to live with. Have you checked the insurance on a bigger bike?

^^^ Those are all reasons I've kept my 250 Familiar with it and comfortable on it.

Yes I have, it's really not that bad. I'm also not looking at a supersport, just a middle weight sport bike, or heaven forbid, and middleweight standard bike, or a small sumo. No need for a liter bike here before I'm 25...

I'd consider having multiple bikes if it wasn't for the cost. I just don't think I could afford the extra insurance, vehicle tax (shudders) and general maintenance costs.

I'd probably get myself a comfy, fully-faired, standard-type bike with a big engine, and decent windscreen. I'd use it for commuting and longer distance rides.

Maybe also a dirt bike. Probably a recent model yamaha yzf250f.

Maybe also a Triumph Scrambler for posing on

It takes a lot to get my head to snap around to look at a bike. The 675 is one of those bikes. It was at the DC motor show. Just came out. I really like that bike

On bike number 3 and still have the Ninjette. It costs me nearly nothing in insurance to own and I have so much time and love into modding/riding it that it would probably take it being totaled to get rid of it.

You should add "No longer have one. Still want one." Lol

I went from the 2011 ninjette to the 2013 300. I traded the 300 for a 2014 ZX6R in April of 2014. I also acquired a 2014 Ninja 1000 this May. After all that, I'd still love to have my 300 back. It was fun schooling the 600s and liters when I had it.

I'll keep it until the engine blows up. in other words, I'll keep it untill it's no longer cost effective to keep it.

pfffff, I'm already past that. I tinker too much, paid more in work/mods than the bike is worth. No regrets.

Great bikes to learn on. Learn to ride, learn to mod, learn to wrench, learn to love it so much you ignore sense and spending.

That's not what I expected. Have you been taking advice from @alex.s by any chance?

Well, the biggest problem is not what you can see... I kind of gutted the wiring harness and now she won't run... I need to take her to a professional for a full treatment. Also the shock has been taken out to be rebuilt. I finally got my nitrogen charging tools, so I'll be rebuilding this shock again...
