Go look at this bike in person. It will look better in person. And if it still doesn't change your mind go ride one. And if that still doesn't then let the paint and modding begin.
This thing looks so cool in the hanspree and repsol colors. With the rear plastic storage container removed. I almost want to get one don't want to trade in the current cbr and don't want to spend the extra $$$.
In all honesty I want to go and buy the new ninja 250 as a daily commuter bike that will get twice the gas mileage of my cbr ( 60 to 70 mpg compaired to 33 - 38 mpg ) the $4 a gal/ gas in coming. And I won't be to worried about leaving it in the parking lot. $3800 otd. Not bad. But at the same time I'm wondering if a cruiser is the way to go. But there aren't any cruisers for around that price.
Congrats on the new bike.

Whats the size compared to the older model? Saw a pic with the owner on it, and the bike looks SO small. Im 6'2"-6'3" and tend to make bikes look small.

They are definitely smaller. It is the entire point of the bike to be smaller, lighter, faster, and more powerful. I'm not a fan of the looks/color sceme, but I'm a big fan of the performance.

LED Taillight is in the tailpiece, not the mudflap. I saw an aftermarket replacement for the stock erector set gismo to clean up the back end at http://www.rg-racing.com/browseBike/.../LP0063BK.aspx. I'm sure there will be others.
