Best Value on the Sportbike market
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 05, 2008The bike has aggressive looking lines and a clean profile. Easy shifting and quick response.It is very forgiving for a first timer while having plenty of speed for the thrill. No problem on the freeway at 70. Considering the technology on board for such a low price it beats the pants off the class ... competitors. There is no better value in performance per dollar.

10,000 miles and still new
By (I am an Owner) on Dec 04, 2008I bought this bike in August of 2007 wrecked in September, Tracked it at summit point in May, and did several trips to WV, VA, and PA. In all over 10,200 miles worth of heavy abuse. I have followed the maintenance plan 100% except for the part of taking it to the local dealer. The only parts I have ... replaced is the spark plugs and headlight bulbs.
This has been a great first bike. My only complaint is a slight lack of power in the mountains. Steep tight turns require the use of second gear, while the short straights require third which means a lot of shifting. Other than that it pulls hard all the way to 110 and can easily reach 130 (indicated) on a long enough straight.

Good Beginner Bike
By (I am an Owner) on Nov 25, 2008This was my first bike and it was great to learn, but I out grew it in about three months and upgraded to an inline four. It's still fast and I had a lot of fun with it and it handles great, but Im tired of getting burned by 600s in the straight aways.

07 ninja 650r plasma red
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 03, 2008I have owned this bike for 6 months and have 2,000 miles. This bike can keep up with 1000cc superbikes to 120.. Then they start to pull away. I have smoked 600 katana's all the way to 140. I love this bike it sticks to the pavement like glue.
Best bang for the buck period....72hp 390lbs you ... do the horsepower to weight ratio and you have a Ferrari F40 through the 1/4 mile.. 11.91 @ 110 mph 0-60 3.01
and it stops on a dime and handles like a smaller ducati.

Great Bike for a Great Price
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 08, 2008The Ninja 650R is a compact twin sport bike. It weighs 393 lbs dry, less than some 500 cc bikes, and is designed to have a low center of gravity, narrow waist, and be non-threatening and forgiving of beginners' mistakes. At the same time, it is powerful enough to keep a intermediate/advanced rider ... happy with 48.5 ft/lb of torque and about 68 h.p. at the rear wheel.
A rigid perimeter chassis and perfectly balance Bridgestone sport touring tires make for a combination which is unbeatably fun, and forgiving of mistakes.
