    Ever since I got the Ninja, I have continually had people talking to me at lights, asking me about it, blah blah freakin' blah.

    I can't imagine what it's like with a true exotic.

    But then again, my bike is damn hot

    Love the bike! Don't see many in orange, nice change from the lime green though.

    I just got myself a new Ninja too...except its only the 250 since I'm on my R-E's for a while longer yet.

    how are you finding the new ninja mate?

    must try get a spin on one. i got into it well before they launched and went for the GPX. great little learner bike. assume the power etc of the ninja will be the same but the riding position/handling may be quite different

    Love it!

    Craving for more power already (mainly on the freeway), but around the suburbs at lower speeds its a great little bike. Other than the skinny tyres its hard to tell that its only a 250, pretty big bike with similar looks to the bigger Ninjas....and yeah the riding position is more sport orientated I would say. Haven't ridden a GPX so can't really compare.

    But yeah both are good bikes to learn on from all accounts, should set us up nicely for that white 848 in 10 months time. ;)

    priced up a muzzy system/K&N pod/dyno tune. around $1100 all told, importing the pipe from USA

    would sound much better, give a bit more power and probably improve pick up/breathability but couldnt justify it on a cheap short term learner bike. save the pennies for the 848 :D

    Are these "people" male or female?

    Mate who owns the 360M said girls are "to scared" to approach him, how does that work?Enjoys the stares though lol.

    NEVER seen a Ferrari so pampered and babied, gets bath/polish all the time, & part lives at Zagames

    most ferraris spend a good deal of time with the mechanic, sadly.

    Haha.

    I don't want or need the girlfriend on the back to be honest, happy to go riding on my own. Long as she doesn't kick up a stink about me owning it (which she hasn't, yet) then I'm fine.
