I went looking at bikes on the way home from work today. I think I’d REALLY dig a Ninja 650R. That just might work out for me.

I was looking at the ‘07, cause that’s all they had in stock. The ‘07 model year was only made in Red and Blue. I’d seriously like a black. The 2006 model came in Silver/Black and Black/Silver. (Top/Bottom). I’d consider a used ‘06 if I could find a black one in good condition. In reading reviews though, I am reading that the ‘06 has a ‘buzz’ due to the fairing vibrating as you are riding. The 2006 model was the first 650R Kawasaki produced, so perhaps that got resolved in the 2007.

I think I need to find out when the new model years are released for bikes. If they come out in early spring, perhaps I’ll wait and see what ‘08 brings us?
