Just to chime in...again, even the ninja 250 will go double the speed limit and take off faster than 90% of the cars on the road. So once again, it doesn't matter what you are riding or how much you paid. What matters is that you are riding and like what you have. There is a reason they make so many different types of bike...so everyone can find one they like! If you don't like everything about it, then that is when you customize stuff on it. Paint it, custom bodywork, no bodywork, better performance, better looks...whatever it takes. It is your bike, do what you want...just enjoy it.

It never ceases to amaze me the amount of 'haters' in these forums.
