Went to the spring motorcycle show this past Saturday to drool at the Ducati's as I usually do every year...but I also like the much more affordable Kawasaki's more than all the other sport bikes...but I always just end up coming back with a T-shirt and a wish...one day....

Erm...not this time.

I fell in love with a too good to be true show deal...so I bit the bullet....along with some nice Camo bike pants, I picked up..drum roll please....a sport bike....a sister for baby #1

My first ever sport bike ride was on a Ninja back when I was 15...and since then I have always liked them and have always wanted a sport bike but have been riding only cruisers since I started riding...now my dream of owning a sport bike is about to come true...should be picking up my new 2010 Kawasaki Ninja 250R Special edition on Friday...I hope!!!!!:yes:

Never ridden a sport bike before...and since I have a bum shoulder, I figured a nice light sport bike should help me recover without having to lift a large 800cc cruiser all summer....Thought I'd start off with a 250cc for now, and if I like it I will move up to a bigger sport bike later.

...we'll call this the rehab bike...lol.:shifty: What do you think? i just love the look of it, can't wait to ride it home!

Yes, this gal has lost her mind...whimsical buying....but heck you only live once.:shutup:

Just get out there! I'm sure you'll have a great time. Will be a big change from the cruisers.

A bike actually designed to go around corners. :lol:

It looks great, but it needs a tail tidy to complete the look.

Well done for finally realising a dream , great feeling is'nt it ? They are very nice looking and very popular with learners.
I would be green with envy if it was something in a larger capacity.
Nothing like a new bike, maybe someday my dreams will come true too. Enjoy.
