Pulled the trigger and got the ninja 2014 from the dealership for $5420 out the door. Pretty good considering I'm in San Francisco, California. Here's the pics of her!

Great first bike! We went to test ride the new ones a few months back but went with a Suzuki dr200se as my gfs first enduro. She's had a 2012/13 ninja 300 and upgraded to the 636 but doesn't like it as much as the smaller bike. If you're not a big person a big bike can get daunting she's learned.

I road a 2000 ZX6R for a few years and love that thing. Picked up a 2005 Ninja 250 last year and could not handle the feel of the bike, sold it to my brother. Those new bikes sure look sharp. Especially the Ninjas and Hondas. I fear I might get the 250 CBR when I see one for a price I can flip.

Welcome to the bigger bikes, I promise you will appreciate the scooters for in town trips. Dont sell them.
