I used to own a 250 Ninja. I thought it was a ton of fun. My brother took it on North Runs back then cause he didn't have a bike & wanted to come out with me.

He wasn't bringing in the rear, a ZX9 & CBR900rr were & they couldn't believe it.

We often thought of how much fun it would be if we could get a group of 250's on a North Run.

If the damn thing had 17" wheels & better styling, I'd own 3 with what I spent on mine & be blowing away the minds of many out there.
