Has anyone seen one of the new Ninja 650R's? Personally, I really like the looks of it. It's about time that Kawasaki came out with a bike in the V-twin class that competes with the Suzuki SV650S. I am still riding my Ninja 500R but I'm thinking that when I finish college next year I'd like to buy a bike with a little more grunt and possibly make the 500 a track bike. Hopefully by then their will be some used 650's floating around. Is Suzuki planning a remake of the SV anytime soon?
Any thoughts about the 650R in general?
