Oh, the new Ninjas are so sexy I wanna lick 'em. But I'm a big believer in used shit first. 'Cause I know I'll likely lay the thing down at least once. Even if just trying to get on it and losing my balance (I do things like that on occasion )

I'd rather save my money for the new hotness once I'm more comfy (read: cocky). Even if it is going from an old 250 to a new one.
