Hey, I just got an '06 500 ninja just over a week ago. I have had it out a total of two times, not counting the ride home with it. I have to say it is a great bike so far, handles well and has good pickup. I think you'll be quite happy with the purchase; I know I am. Welcome to the club!

Good job on going through with it. Make sure you don't listen to people who tell you how dangerous it is. If you ride attentitively, you shouldn't have many problems. Basically ride assuming that cagers are stupid, not paying attention, and don't see you. Then you will always be ready to...

I am glad you joined us! With your sport bike, you are now in the group which society thinks are agressive riders who roll down the highway doing wheelies and stop with an endo. Don't worry, if you got a harley, you would be a "criminal" or "up to no good", ha! Which Georgian campus did you...

In the spring, I plan on taking it to the Georgian College parking lot in barrie. In their back lot they have lines painted on for their motorcycle courses which I will go about practicing on. I took it on the highway a couple days ago for the first time... There was a lot more wind...

You know, as bad as the wait will be, I have been able to get out a couple times this year. Sabex, I agree with you, I am really liking the bike so far. It handles great and has some pretty good pickup. Next year will be fantastic!

I'm 25 and get $1200 per year with StateFarm with a 2006 Ninja 500r. Would be $700 if I had my car through them as well. I would look into a smaller CC bike, maybe a 250 ninja or something of equal size until you are 25 and have been licensed for five or more years; that includes time with...

Got a 2006 Ninja 500r to start. Pretty nice bike and will do me well for a year or two before I master it and look at moving up.

A 400 is a good starting bike. I just got my first bike, a ninja 500r. I have no problems riding it. Respect the bike and it will respect you.

I looked and really didn't see anything relating to year, mileage, type, and price.

Ah, okay, maybe someone just thinks too highly of their bike. I checked the blue book value on the bike and it was $1700... I have $4000 to $5000 to spend on my first bike, and I'm not sure where to start. I have been going over the classifieds for a few weeks now and the prices jump around...

Hello, I am new to the world of buying a motorcycle and I am a bit confused by pricing out there. I am seeing a 2002 Z6R with 24000km for $3750 and a 2006 GSX Katana 600 with 10000km for $3400 Are they different leagues of bikes, is Suzuki cheaper than Kawi, or is it a steal? Thanks!!!

Hey, I am in the same situation as you. I get my M2 at the end of November and have to wait untill the Spring to get a bike and get out there. I could get a bike earlier, but I need to save for one over the Winter.

Great idea, playing around in an empty parking lot for a while. I plan on doing this when I get my first bike to get a feel for it before I get out on the mean streets with all the cages.

Welcome! I am a newbie, too. Nice first bike. I will be getting mine in the Spring. Can't wait to get out there.

Hello all, I recently got my M1 and just finished a basic training course at Georgian College in Barrie. I get to hand them the envelope to get my M2 on November 25. I am really excited to get going in the Spring. I don't have a bike yet, but I am looking and getting rough estimates on...

I was talking with a group of friends in a college computer class about how to spell things. I said a really common name and then I started spelling it adding in a silent j, a silent h, a silent Q... Then I thought, "That would make a really cool screen name." Offered it to my friend, he...
