Yeah, me too! That'd help a lot of new riders not feel as if they need the 600s to "look cool"! Plus 45 Horse on that little machine is quite a powerhouse!

Sharp little bike.

And the Ninja 650r will now be available in green... and black again.

It looks like it's got the same engine, with some performance related tweaks. I'm skeptical about the 45 hp claim, but any improvements would be a good thing.

I've been toying with the idea of getting a little Ninja as an "around town" bike. This new version just might do the trick. The improvements in braking and suspension are definitely a plus.
