^so mind sharing some thoughts on the new Ninja? Like a 1 week review lol.

Curious to know how the ergo's are treating you. It's such a great looking bike and seems like the perfect commuter.

 

Not sure what to say. It's the only true road bike I've ever ridden...

I've been riding ATVs/ATCs/Dirt bikes ever since I was about 4yo, but the Ruckus was the first street legal bike I've ever ridden.

That being said… It’s tamer than I expected. It still powerful as fuck (to me) but it doesn't surprise you. I had it in my head that, it looks like a supersport, it’s gonna be super aggressive. But, you know exactly what to expect and when to expect it power wise.

The suspension is better than that in my wife car. It’s super comfy but at the same time not squishy at all. It’s not race hard, like I think I’d prefer, but I think it’s still really well done.

It’s definitely a sport touring bike, which cool, because that’s what I needed. A small, lightweight, sporty, touring (commuter) bike.

 

She gets the hose, and a good buffing. No special treatment for this pissy bitch.

USPS is taking until the 7th to bring me my things, and I ordered on the last day of february. So, yeah that kind of sucks.


Congrats on the purchase by the way, I'm glad you like it and are happy with it working out.

 

I read that on the 650r forums too and was pretty skeptical about the pledge

 

IT PUTS THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN OT IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN!

Depending on just how dirty the bike is I MIGHT pressure wash it, but that usually involves removing things (like the engine).

I think just using a squirt bottle full of water, some simple green, and a few rags generally cleans everything up nicely. Use electronic or MAF cleaner on wires, and you're good to go.

extremely flammable engine brightener... huh.
