I just picked up a 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 650 & I absolutely love it. It's my second bike, I started out on a Honda CRF250L. Once I got on the Ninja, I felt I should I have started on it. The throttle is much better and much smoother than the Honda. It's obviously more powerful & heavier, but it's very manageable. It had 620 miles on it and I got it for $~5600 out the door. It already had it's 600 mile service. I still haven't decided what oil to put in but I have a good amount of time to decide. My plan is to sell the CRF250L since it's just not for me. I thought I would do more dirt riding & trails but since everyone I ride with has a sport bike, I figured it was time for one since I wasn't using the CRF250L to it's full potential. Pictures to come..
