My X-Mas gift to myself . .
Well after recovering the Frame of my R1, I decided not to get such a high profile bike again. After doing tons of research and a lil seat time. I decided on getting a Ninja 650R. They are a blast! not that fast top speed of 147, but they really get down. I rode a friend of mines 650R and was really impressed. They are cheap, 6300 new. and the research that went into them really impressed me. It weighs almost as much as a 250R. The motor is powerfull but yet smaller and more compact than that of it's brother the EX500. One quick wrist snap in 2nd and the front comes up with ease. I don't get it till the end of december, due to parents co-signing for me *they are buying a house, and can't co-sign till after they close* I already have lined up a two-brothers exhaust and a powercommander III. Basically as soon as I get it I will have clip-ons, slip-on, and a power commander, before I even go riding. I can't wait i'm as excited as a kid on x-mas eve. haha
whats ur guys opnion on the 650r?

i prefer the SV650 honestly...i dont like the huffy bars on the 650R and the SV handles better imo...tip in feels easier. but its something you need to decide for yourself.

i don't like the huffy bars either, thats why I ordered clip-ons. felt real nice with clip-ons. i rode a sv and I felt more confident on the 650R. it also lowered the front a lil bit with the clipons.

147mph top end seems a bit high. Where did you get that from?
It is a great bike, we almost bought one, but the SV won us over with its aftermarket support.

I like the 650r a lot...
I've never been a big fan of the sv's and I don't like working on a bike, so the aftermarket isn't a big deal to me.
I'm sure you'll have fun with it....

before you buy a 650R check back with me, I bought my fiance an 06 650R 8 months ago brand new when I bought my R1, it has just under 400 miles on it, if she doesnt start riding it soon I'm going to sell it. It is a black one with the red frame, it has one small dent on the gas tank , very tiny, it fell over and landed on a wooden fence post, but other than that the bike is mint with just 400 miles on it.
