Hey guys,
Just bought this 2009 yesterday. Believe it or not it only had 117 miles on it. Origin owner rode it a couple times and has just had it garaged ever since. I added about 15 miles to that driving it home. Anyway, I’ve had my license for 5 years but truth be told I’m still a very novice rider. I had a ninja 500 I rode a bit until I laid it down in some oily gravel I didn’t see a couple years ago and broke the fairings and turn signal. It sat for a while as I had “big plans” of fixing it up. It always was a touch underpowered for my tastes though. I didn't want a rocketship but there were times it seemed the lack of guts could be a liability. Anyhow, I broke my back in an ATV accident a year and change ago (perhaps I should be avoiding recreational vehicles altogether). Though I’m “mostly” back to normal living, the will to tinker for hours on end in the garage is gone, and with it my plans to do anything with the ninja other than sell it at this point. The idea of being hunched over busting my knuckles to remove and clean gummed up carbs no longer sounds appealing. So, something a bit more modern, fuel injected, reliable, comfortable and with a tad more grunt seemed in order. Lucked upon this 650 yesterday. Price was shall we say hard to say no to.
