Default 2008 Rockets

This weekend i went toa motorcycle show, and was very disappointed. all the major brands looked they'd just put shark skins on. big wide flat tails and/or kinda bubbled out front fairings. the 'busa somehow got even uglier. the hondas stayed pretty much the same though. i dont like the little pipes on the 1000 but still sexy as hell. the one thing i did see that i wish honda could do however is put the single swing arm on it, like the ducatis. anyways, just though id put my two cents in.

Alot of people agree with you, that's why streetfighters and naked bikes are getting so popular.

I don't like the looks of very many new sport bikes. From all the pix I see the 08 Ninja 250 is one of the best looking new bikes out. I might go to the bike show when it gets to Cleveland, but I'm not sure.

How did the Ninja 250 look up close?

I actually spend a little bit of time looking at that one cause my buddies girlfriend is thinking about getting one. It looks really good compared to last years model. The bike isnt really going to turn any heads. Right off the bat you'd have to get rid of the plastic fender off the back. But for the price (about $4000) its a great deal. Its also pretty small. My buddies girl is about 5'2" so shes in love with it. Thats about all i got on that bike. There was alot bikes and othergood stuff to get before the football games started. If you want ill talk to her about it cause she looked at alot closer then me.

Id rock the Ninja 250, but I already looked like a gorilla on my 600 [&:]The good thing about all the new bikes being ugly is you can buy an older bike for cheaper that you enjoy more.
