They look like crap though, they're crazy looking.

The ninja goes 105 with no slope. Mine did.

why not? only 60 hpr, great brakes, very neutral handling. Only thing that would take getting used to is the powerband, but with only 60 hpr it's not going to be too bad.

I can envision the headline now:



Small Unit Biker Blows Pri**** Under Six,

Sox Missing



The Mustang GT's are a different issue (so to speak). The 4.6 L DOHC (stock) Pony has been clocked by "Car and Driver" in the low 5's. A 250 Ninja would be about six or more bike lengths behind in a sprint to 60 mph. Your mileage may vary.



I have a 250 (not a Ninja) in my stable with >30,000 miles logged and I know its limitations as well as my own.



You've got a nice bike; enjoy it for what it is, care for it, and savor the pleasure.



Amen



(Thus endeth the sermon for the day)

Wow...

1. Many cars from US car companies get great reliability ratings.

2. Many of the Japanese cars of which you speak are American made. That is correct they are made in the good old USA. And frankly a good number of Honda motorcycles are also.



I would say get the Ninja 250 because it has a better dealer network and is easier to get parts for. It is also a very good back.

In my opinion you gave the right answer but for all the wrong reasons.
