After some months of pondering various makes and models, this w/e I got my new wheels! EX 500s Ninja.
The poor thing has had very little use in the last couple of years, so was very lumpy to start with. Mstrs rode it back fom Papamoa on Saturday and it smoothed out over the journey.
I did the RRRS course on it yesterday, was a bit nervous at times....riding outside my licence class, and a totally different style of bike to what I am used to...it made for some interesting moments! Over the day, my confidence on it increased as I got more used to its differences.
But it will stay in the garage until I have my full licence, what an incentive!!

You might be 'in touch with your feminine side' BUT hands off mine!!!

The 500 is a brilliant smaller/midsize bike. Very easy to ride, no nasty quirks or surprises, plenty of go for what it is. Indeed, it is perfect.

The 'mericans love em. I believe there's a Ninja web site thingy that has lots of hints, mods etc.

Good all rounder, and a nice intro to the sportier side of the riding experience.

Very Nice!!! Bet you cant wait to get your full now... how long do you have to wait?

Good on you for doing the RRRS course on it, took me ages to get comfortable on my new bike, certainly didnt take me one afternoon.
