Cruiser vs. sport question
-
Thank you!
i have a friend with a ninja who used to work at a bike shop and he said he’d come and help me check them out
i’m in canada too… ontario actually.
i like the look of both the naked bike and the ones with fairings. there’s just way too many options with bikes!
Oh, I know. It does make it hard to pick- doesn’t it?
Well, its been said before, but when you find it, you’ll know. Until then, just keep looking, and before you know it, you’ll see it.
Maybe you’re missing a bike somewhere, and its just waiting for you to walk around the corner….P.S., I’m in Alberta- Edmonton to be exact.
If you ever do a cross Canada trip, or one to the Rockies, I’m inAt least spend the day, and we can get a ride in… Corse, someone in the city, always knows the best places to go….
Maybe one day we’ll meet 1/2 way. Nothing like flat and straight to really open her up
1) To reiterate what has already been said by everybody else, it takes a lot of balls and incredible skill to get wheelies out of the ninja 250. It absolutely will not happen spontaneously. Power wheelies are out of the question.
2) If you are somebody that likes greater control, agility, handling, and stopping power, the Ninja is the bike for you. It handles mostly like a bigger sportbike: very easy to flick one way or the other, stops on a dime, lots of ground clearance, etc.
3) If you want to take long rides, or if you want a more upright riding position, the Ninja is not for you. You tend to be hunched over the tank a lot, which, since you can’t put weight on your hands, means your back will do a lot of work to keep your torso at that angle. This shot is an extreme example, but you get the general idea:
4) If you want absurd resale value, the Ninja is your bike. Especially in times of high demand — oddly enough, most of the time — you’ll be able to sell a Ninja 250 for about what you bought it for (+/- $500 or so).
