thats crazy!! hahah!! thats STUPID that the 07's dont come in black!!! i wouldnt get one anyways now!!! lol, the black was sweet!!Ray wrote:Funny thing, I just went over the exact same dilemma!!!...I went in looking to get a Ninja 650R (black), but they were out of '06 and the '07s only come in red and blue, then,,,I sat on a black M50....well, I bought it and could not be happier!!!!
It's VERY easy during slow speed maneuvers, the clutch/throttle engagement is VERY smooth, the engine is plenty powerfull for highway cruising and it's handling seems to be very benign.
And the looks, it looks AWESOME!!!, I had a guy in a CBR1000RR pull a u turn and come up to me in the next light, just to look it over and tell me how good it looks!!!
P.S. I didn't really care for all that space between the handlebars and the front fairing of the 650R, then again, I almost bought one!!!(till I saw the M50 + the insurance on the M50 is almost HALF what I was quoted for the Ninja!!)
i have been told cruisers are wicked to learn on due to the reasons you listed
so im glad ive decided on one!
