I am a new member and wanted to say hello. I have been watching the you tube videos for some time now. I have never heard any mention about a ninja 650r. I started on a honda rebel 250 and quickly went to the 2007 ninja 650r. I know its not the most appealing bike on the rode but i think it is a great all around bike. I mean it gets great fuel mileage, has a good seat for the wife, cheaper than the cbr and is fast enough for the highway. I know it doesn’t have that beautiful sound of an inline 4, but i had to sacrifice something for the price. LOL!! I only paid $3,000 for it with 1,200 miles. just wondering what your thoughts are on this particular bike. If i were to upgrade in the future, what bike would you advise. I like the sport look with the capability to so some mild touring. I commute to work 14 days out of the month. 90 mile round trip daily. Thanks!!
