nope, don't like the EX500 and i don't mean it's lack of power. heck, like i said before... i'd buy an aprilia RS125 R if it was legal here in the SoCal.

Which is? Free paint for those nice paintjobs never hurt. :)

thanks, maybe it will slow my progress but maybe not...

i think not having enough funds for regular trackdays/track school will be the biggest thing that will slow my progress.

I think he's got his heart set on the gixxer 600. I say go ahead with it verm, that's alot better than your previous 1000, and I think you'll be able to handle it. And looks are very important in the bike you get, who wants to go buy a brand new bike, that they think is ugly?

skier never said anything about buying it new though.

but yeah, i won't spend money on an EX500 even if i can get an old cheap one.

Not that I really care about it, but I do agree. The ninja's are one ugly line of bikes. :laughing:

nah... the RR line of ninja bikes looks good but i can't say the same for the other ninja bikes.

i understand the ninja 250 and 500 are old school designs but i still don't like it.
