Ahh the 06 599. One of the best looking bikes if you ask me.

I also love the EX250. In fact, that will be the next bike I buy. There's something so fun about riding the snot out of a little bike that weighs less than a fat chick.
:lol:

One of the F1 drivers (I can't remember which) said some time ago: "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than to drive a fast car slow."

And, gee, I figured Steve would have mentioned already that it's time for that warning sticker on the tank to go. :) I peeled mine off as soon as I got home from the dealer....

YEP...was the first thing he said to me about my bike when I posted a pic...I promptly removed the sticker...

I was too busy looking at the Ninja. I may loose my seat as first string sticker Natzi. :P

And it's very true about riding a slow bike fast rather than a fast bike slow. Whenever I ride a Super Sport or a Super Bike I alwasy feel like I'm not doing the bike justice on the street. Sure it's fast, but most of the time you're not using half of it's power.

Although both can be fun to ride! :lol:

Seriously , though, the Ninjette was the first street bike I ever owned (rode dirt bikes when I was younger), and that little sucker cornered better than any bike I've ever ridden. I often wish I hadn't sold it, but having 3 bikes in the garage is a bit much. :?
