my new bike
Got it on Saturday, I've been busy for the 4th and such plus riding it has sapped my time 
This thing is a pure treat to ride.
Its a 2009 Ninja 250R
The bike is real fast. Now before you guys say its a sissy bike let me say this for those that don't know, I RODE A SCOOTER BEFORE! Never complained about the speed on that but this bike boogies. I can't even rev it past 6K rpm and I have 15K RPM. The bike pulls at that speed. I was returning a video and the guy was going 40ish in a 35. When I sped up a little bit he would too. I just twisted the throttle a 1/4 of the way. I bolted to 50 MPH in a blink. It does feel nice to know I have that power under my butt. I love this thing. It gets great gas millage too. Its very light and nimble. I really am going to hold onto this bike for a long while. People say you WILL get sick of the underpoweredness but like I said my roots where on the scooter.
I am getting real good at shifting it too now. Even when the bike is broke in I am not going to be driving like a douchebag. I do look forward to being able to take it on the highway once its broken in so I can visit some of my friends that I would normally have to drive to there house. All my bike gear is great too that I bought. I am one truly happy guy!

Yes there is a black, red, and "SPECIAL EDITION" which consists of the Kawi green with a white stripe. Not too special LOL.
I choose blue because
A. It's sexy
B. It's sexy
C. Its brighter than black for night riding but not by much
D. It's sexy.
E. All the above
Circle the correct answer! LOL

I put the bike in 1st gear when I downshifted to make a left turn and the back tire kicked out about an inch at 10-15mph. Woke me up fast! I got scared! I am going to take it real slow and stay in second gear at those mph's.
