Technology today is absolutely amazing. This 2012 Ninja 650 is light years advanced from the offerings of the late 70's and 80's when I first started riding. I've owned so many motorcycles over the years and have found the middle weight bikes of today to be where the fun factor is for me in both cruiser and rocket. After all, it wasn't too long ago that a 650 twin BSA, Norton or Triumph was considered a manly beast of a machine. This Ninja will leave those burly bikes of the past for dead in every detail except maybe nostalgia. I currently own a Star XVS950 and bought this to add variety to my daily riding. This Ninja is light, fast, comfortable (inc. passenger seat), nimble, has a solid feeling and just the most all around fun period. The specs, the features and details of this bike are amazing. Bottom line... What a steal! I absolutely LOVE IT! And I promise you will too!
