1st gen or New gen ?

Snake · April 12th, 2009, 07:22 PM

Just wanted to get a poll going to see what generation bike people have.

The two are cousins so I can't say enough about both of them.

Snake · April 13th, 2009, 09:26 AM

Looks like its almost even.

BlueTyke · April 13th, 2009, 09:29 AM

So far it is still 50/50

Alex · April 13th, 2009, 09:30 AM

Hi Rick -

What I'm seeing is about 4 out of 5 signups have a new-gen ninjette. Still means there's likely 100+ members here with a pre-gen....

BlueTyke · April 13th, 2009, 09:33 AM

Then there are some that own or have owned both...

Verus Cidere · April 14th, 2009, 11:45 PM

Ouch! We're falling behind guys! 9 pregens to 19 new gens! Dang!

Both bikes are great machines. ('08 owner here)

bob706 · April 15th, 2009, 09:21 AM

I love my 08 but I think the 1st gen bikes look better. There's just something about the older bikes, i dunno, it reminds me of Robotech or something.

sometimesido · April 15th, 2009, 01:42 PM

I want to own one of each + 250SF.

TnNinjaGirl · April 15th, 2009, 01:55 PM

09' the newest of the new. Until next year of course. Older vehicles have character that an off the showroom floor vechicle doesn't. New things are nice though.

sm0kediver · April 15th, 2009, 05:24 PM

I love my new one. I loved my old one. The only advantages I see to the new one are the (much) improved suspension, and the improved mid range power (less down shifting to regain speed after a slow down).

Strider · April 15th, 2009, 06:48 PM

Good poll

... It will be interesting to see how this ends up ...

I like my cushy suspension for daily commute, so that would not be an advantage for me. why I want one of each.

hzrnbgy · April 17th, 2009, 09:26 AM

i have both

my pregen is modified (in terms of performance). its got a muzzy full exhaust, jet kit, etc and i must admit, it drives way better than my stock 09.

gotta do some mods on the new one to catch up with the old one

Snake · April 17th, 2009, 01:33 PM

Due to the popularity of the negen, there will lots of aftermaket accessories coming out to modify it.

Verus Cidere · April 18th, 2009, 01:19 PM

Ouch! 17 pregens and 42 new gens??? OUCH! We're just not represented right now!

But ours still have the better top end!

Flashmonkey · April 18th, 2009, 02:06 PM

Haha well that balanced tipped pretty quickly. I think all of the pregen owners are too busy riding to post on here
