Hi,  This is a great site, and I've enjoyed the articles and forum.  34/M/Atlanta burbs

Just completed the MSF this weekend (had never ridden before), and looking for my first ride.

I rode a Kawas Elim 125 last night, and it felt great around the neighborhood, but as soon as I pulled out on a 45mph road, it just didn't seem to have the power to pull me.

Hope to look at an 09 Ninja 250 tonight...

I rode an Eliminator briefly in my MSF, before being switched up to a GZ250.  Great bike for around a parking lot, but on the road, I dunno.  I don't think I've ever seen one actually out in public.

It always kills me that Kawasaki keeps using that name, even after it got rid of the bigger Eliminators.  I mean what's a 125cc motorcycle going to eliminate?  Nothing against the bike, just a weird choice of names (any car nut will know that the Mercury Cougar Eliminator of the late '60s was the top of the Mercury line, and could be had with Ford's biggest, firebreathing V8s.)

Anyway, enough ranting...welcome to the forum and good luck with the bike search.  You'll find many fans of the Ninja 250 around here... :-)
