Cool It all happened so quickly...

The day I realized I wanted/could handle something bigger was the day I rode the Ninja 650, Ninja 1000, Z1000, and ZX6R at the Kawasaki Demo Days...

I won't argue, that I never rode the 250 to its full potential, but I can say that I wanted something more capeable on the freeway, that I didn't have to ride all out to get to 75mph.

Either way, I just traded my 2012 250 for a 2009 Ninja 650 with 420 miles on it!

Kawi = Kawasaki

Jiggles is commenting on you claiming to have ridden an R6 at the Kawasaki Demo Days...

R6s are Yamaha bikes.

You are such a sell-out! You barely even broke the 250 in. What did you have on the clock...like 800 miles. When you find that the 650 is a just a bit too much for you do you wanna trade for a 2006 blue 250?
