Since, I will graduate this year with a Associates degree, in December. I will buy myself a motorcycle as a reward/motivation (I hate school) for graduating. Here is a site with pics. of the Ninja 650R in both colors they come in. http://www.ninja650.com/ Let me know what you think. I will be a relatively novice rider so nothing to crazy.

If you think that is nice you should see what I plan to get for a Bachelors degree present. http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/challenger.html Don't know what to get for a Masters degree graduation gift.

Yeah, I like choppers too.

I think I might have found my Master's Degree gift: http://www.tbt.com/news/article16684.ece 1 or more of those would be awesome.

The new Ninja 650R is getting rave reviews from everyone who rides it. It does lack a little bit of h.p. when compared to the Suzuki SV650, but its still a sweet bike. It should work great for a starter bike and im sure once you are comfortable there will be plenty of aftermarket stuff to make it faster. Have fun and make sure to wear your helmet.

Why not buy yourself a crotch rocket that can nearly fly?

Actually, one of the first bikes that I looked at was the SV650. It looked pretty nice but nothing like the Ninja 650. It wont be my first bike per se. It will be the first that I will really dedicated to riding. I haven't ridden, here and there in parking lot, at all for about 5 years, so I will be picking up a cheap used bike over the spring to re-learn how to ride. Until this time next year when I will look for a low mileage 05 Ninja, or maybe just a brand new one.

Northquad, I believe that could be to much bike for me. The site I gave for the pics, also has forums for the Ninja 650 and a ZZR1400(I think). Guess that bike puts out 200 HP stock.
