I'll buy it if you ride it down here and bring Colorodo with you. Actually, I've got a couple headhunters with some jobs in CO that I'm waiting to hear back from. Who knows, I may eventually make it out there. If you were closer, I might be interested though. I'm just looking for something to get comfortable on before I buy a new bike. I've had a certification for years, just never owned one.

Just because you lane split does not make you automatically irresponsible. Lane splitting is legal here in California. If you don't like it when a bike moves quicker than you in traffic, go get a bike. Do you know how many times I've had aholes try to nudge me out of the lanes while lane splitting on the highway during traffic hours? It's ridiculous. There is a reason that some of us commute on bikes. We are allowed in the carpool lane and we are also allowed to split lanes. Do it responsibly and safely.

Also, why does it matter that we move to the front at a light? We're not going to be in the way. We accelerate a little bit quicker than cars do.

My point, don't hate us all. There are bad apples everywhere. I don't hate all motorists because someone tried to clip my front tire. Hate the ones that f'ed with you and leave the rest of us alone. wink

Sorry...didn't check this thread. Yeah..nice bike, but a little more than I'm wanting to spend for my first. I'm searching for 2-3 grand bike. Thanks though,
John

$2000 for the Kawasaki 500 Ninja.
Fly up and ride it back to Mississippi (or wherever).

I once had a problem with a loud mouth biker. But when he realized that he was in front of my bumper and at a red light behind another car. A light clicked in his brain that, when I said I would run over him if he kept talking, I wasnt joking. Its amazing to see how fast people move when you start edging forward. Remember, the only fair fight is the one you win.
