Crotch Rocket.....no long trips on that.

It's actually pretty upright but sporty at the same time which is why I like it.

nice looking bike.

I might be getting a bike in the next couple of weeks. Not the prettiest but she'll do for getting some riding time under my belt.

I am actually in the market myself now.... this driving a 5.6 liter V8 with gas prices the way they are is getting old...

I just got my license Summer of 07. Friend and I got together and bought a 96 Honda VTX 1100 ACE that was in really good condition off of Craigslist. Took the MSF course together and practiced on that bike for a while until I was feeling more comfrotable. Then I went and bought myself one of these. He bought out my half of the 1100.

Those old Ninjas are really nice bikes, and they're particularly good for a beginner. Is that a 500? The 250s used to be very popular amateur race bikes (probably still are?), since they were light and nimble, and could be set up to handle great. I used to ride a lot when I lived near Napa Valley, and I seriously considered buying a Ninja 250 to take advantage of the tight curves in the roads around there. If I recall, the stock suspension on those bikes isn't great, but if you replace the fork springs and the rear shock you'll have a great little sport bike.

It's a 95 Ninja 500EX. I've heard the suspension & brakes can use some upgrading. The decals on the side are going to come off, new exhaust, retune the carbs and replace the headlight.
