I had an 08 ninja 250 for a few months, sweet looking bike and good to learn on, but way too slow

might get another one this summer

"too slow"? What fucking crotchrocket that isn't from WW2 too slow? I thought bikes were pretty damn quick overall.

not too bad. when i was deciding what to upgrade to back a few years ago, i went with the SV650S (and added the OEM fairings during the first winter) over the 650R.

what made you go with the kawi over the SV and FZ6?

it should be an alright first bike, and although the 650 twins make a good deal more grunt down low (less than ideal for learning), they're very predictable in comparison to the 600ss bikes.

and bonus points for going used -- i'm always amused when i hear of someone dropping their first bike (always happens) that they just bought brand new...

Actually no. I wanted blue but they dont make that color in the 08's. At some point I will probably get it painted. The red is growing on me though.

I picked the 650R because I like a bike with fairings and I wanted a sport bike with an upright riding position vs leaning over on the tank. Also the 650R's are lower priced but with great reviews. I also don't care to go 140+ miles an hour.

Additionally I didn't want to buy anything too expensive in the event I slide it across the pavement.


I also picked up a HJC FS-15 Carbon helmet for $233 online.

Nice bike. Here's mine:

it's a 250, it can barely keep up with traffic on the freeway.

ridden a 250 plenty of times, without ever having trouble at speed. does 90 without hiccup's.

I've had mine doing 100. It tops out at about 105. I'm pretty sure there wasn't any "traffic" keeping up with me at that point.

I had an '07 650R and loved it, ended up selling it when i thought i was going to be moving out and my roommates leaving the area. Then got deployed and made enough money to pay off my car when i got back so i picked up another bike a few weeks ago. Went with the FZ6 this time, LOVE it

These type bikes just look like someone stole your fairing

Yea. Definitely loving my fz1. boomer, have you done any twisties on it yet?

god getting the turns just right on a bike feels so gratifying...

Nah still too cold up in the twisties here to go near it. Which is good since i was off a bike for a year and half anyway and not 100% confident anymore (only had one season under my belt prior to this). Put about 700 miles on it since i got it and feeling alot better about it though just gotta get used to the turns and having the confidence to lean far enough into them. Although since its still wintery around here i'v found patches of sand and gravel from the sand trucks which cause you to pucker up rather quick.
