New red bike - love it

Hey everybody.

Thought I'd say hello to everyone on the forum. Hope this is as fun and friendly a place as the FZ6 forum is. It seems like a great bunch of people from the couple of threads I've read.

This is actually my third bike. First bike - Yamaha FZ6, totaled going through an intersection. Second bike - Kawasaki ZX-6RR, traded in for the 250R, maintenance and insurance was too much for me to handle.

Love the brand new Ninja 250R I bought. Picked it up about a week ago. It's red and I am really enjoying it. And I'm not apprehensive throwing it through a turn hard, like I was with the 2 600s I had.

The 2 things I learned from motorcycling is -

- Older used bikes with high mileage can be money pits. Ask me about my traded in ZX-6RR...

- Horsepower isn't everything.

Well, that's pretty much it for me about motorcycling. Am going to have fun being a part of this forum!

Thanks guys!

My red bike is also a 2009. Such a nice color, though the special edition really grabbed me. Unfortunately the se one was a lot more since it was a 2010, so no team green this time around.

Well then it fits me perfect. jk

I like the red a lot and it seems to be a very visible color to other motorists. Better than black for sure. I'm still really getting into this bike - ordering stuff to add on, see what I like, and doing the break-in is taking a while only at 125 miles total so far.

C-Dog, I TOTALLY agree with red being more visible. I was just telling my friend that that other day. Black... um, not so much. What can we say .... Red IS the best ! I just got back from a nice little ride tonite. I love my Ninja !

I like the names you gave your bikes. Especially Yoshi. Very cool.

I kind of have been referring to my bike as "the red demon" because it's so red. I like things that are red, my wife is a red head.
