thanks.

do you own an 08?

if you got it for less than 6k then good on you. that's what i was quoted at from cycle world, not even the color i wanted, along with a month-long wait. the salesman actually encouraged me to buy an sv650 or zx-6r for a couple hundred more. sunrise said they couldn't even get me one until the 09s came out. if you had a different experience then congratulations.

hence me buying this, and i loved the bike, for what it was intended for which was to learn to ride on. now i'm looking to get a 600, and maybe make a couple bucks off the sale. if you don't like it, then don't post!

edit- after some additional research, i have discovered you do not have an 08, and it seems there is a misconception. the 07s are easier to find, and much cheaper. there's always a reason. the 08 ninjas have been completely redesigned, and now actually look like a legitimate sportbike. many speculate this was done to compete with the hyosung, which looks way better than the 90s-looking ninja from 07 and older. i didn't want a bike that looked like that, and many others agreed, that's why dealers couldn't keep them in stock, and again, why i went with the hyosung. imo looks as good as or better than the 08 ninja, has more usable low-rpm torque, and much cheaper, contrary to what many people think. just do the research and you'll come up with the same answers i did, unless something's changed since july.
