A beauty and the beast
After 4500+ fun miles I sold my Ninjette and got myself an '09 CBR... What a great bike! She's like a grown up Ninjette, does everything even better. She loves to run, handles and corners like no other. And she loves triple-digit speeds
Riding the beast is like being king of the road - traffic, etc, is all just waters to be parted. And twisty roads are like heaven. But I'm so glad I started on Ninjette. She taught me a lot, very quickly. Now I can easily control the bigger beast, and truly enjoy & appreciate her. Thanks everyone who weighted their wisdom and convinced me to stay with Ninjette until I was ready to move on. It was my smartest decision in a while |

Nice bike! I really like the CBRs. Be careful with those triple digit speeds!

Congrats on the new bike... she looks great!!! Although she could use a fender eliminator and some flush mount front signals

Thanks everyone! The bike looks totally badass @speed and sounds pretty good, too. The handling is out of the world.
A FE and flush turn signals are definitely in the plan But first would be tire replacement - tires are barely worn but the compound is 3 yrs old by now. Also, maybe a new battery. |

It's not a complete upgrade until you migrate over to a 600 supersport forum. It's not whether you can ride the 600, the real test is "trading paint" with the big egos on a supersport forum. Go get 'em, tiger!

If you go to 600.net, you'd go back to ninjette.org in no time. Most of the threads are along the lines of "250 is for sissies" and "I ran from the cops & crashed"... I could post something there like "VTEC just kicked in, yo" and be right at home.

Are you saying the 600 supersport crowd is unenlightened, squiddy, knuckle-dragging, barely literate? I would never have guessed that would be the case. However, they are your tribe now. They are your people.
