First Bike, and AWESOME

Got a new one ('09 but never sold) about a month ago, and have already put close to 1900 miles on it. What an amazing bike, grew up riding and racing dirtbikes, and what an easy transition it was to the Ninja. Good power, AWESOME fuel mileage, and so cheap. Don't think I could have gotten a bette...r bike for me for the money. Read Full Review

!!!Great Bike!!!

Great bike! I brought the 2009 Ninja 500r black, its my first bike just under a month experience in riding and i feel confident on it. It was between the 2008 ninja 250r and the 500r... im soo glad that i picked the 500 because it has so much power that you wont just get tired with it in a year or s...o. Its great on cornering on the street not too heavy. Great torque for a beginner. Im about 5"10 170lb and i feel great on it, feet well flat on the ground and riding position is very nice! Pick up a 500r its will be worth it. The 250r 08+ may look nicer but the power cant match the 500r! Read Full Review

First Motorcycle

Riding a motorcycle has been one of my dreams, and...the 500r makes it a good dream. Riding around on this lovely machine makes me smile as I ride along. I'll "yip" and warrior cry as I fly down the road. Cornering at 80 miles per hour has never been funner, and I can see it only getting b...etter. Thank you for such a wonderful motorcycle! In addition, the price is great. YOU GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH! Paid $2,400, two days ago, with only 2,980 miles on it! I will say, I feel like I got a steal. Rode it roughly 200 miles the first day I got it, and the only sore part of me was my wrists...gotta break the wrists in somehow. If you have back problems, I feel like this motorcycle is forgiving. The seat is great, and I only had a little neck pain- probably because I was zippin' down the highway warrior crying.
