Dood, I love the 500 ninja, it's just a fun little bike. Not really the riding I wanted to do, but it's the perfect bi bike to learn on

Hell, I've never done track days or felt confident enough to ride stupid fast on the street. It's having all that underutilized performance that makes it feel like a waste. There are plenty of other bikes that can accelerate, corner, and attain straight-to-jail speeds while not being such cop magnets or enticing me to douchebaggery with all that naughty excess power and ground clearance. ![]() Also, there's the peer pressure angle. You don't get razzed for chicken strips on a GS, for not being able to wheelie a cruiser, or for not doing track days on a Bonnie. ![]()

Went from a SV650s to a dual sport because I needed something smaller to really learn how to ride without being scared of dropping it for whatever reason. Found out that I really loved the dual sport because it was easy to handle and it was so much more comfortable since I have a bad back.
Went back to an SV650 because I wanted something bigger that was more road capable and I was ready to upgrade. I enjoy both bikes for different reasons. Since I have been so busy with school riding has fallen by the wayside. I am still more comfortable on the dual sport but I find the SV easier to ride (due to the handling) if that makes sense. |

really? I find that the dual sport is much easier to ride with its wide handles bars. But scraping my center stand isn't exactly fun either
