  2. I bought one in March '08 - $3911 out the door.

    Top speed is NOT 96 mph - try 110 mph (but it takes a bit!)

    Fuel consumption AT WORST: 59mpg
    At best: 77mpg
    Avg around 64-68 the way I ride.

    People WILL think it's a 600 - unless they're knowledgeable enough to glance at the narrow rear tire.

    The only thing about it is the 'banana hammock' back fender - which can be dealt with.

    Nice, upright riding position with a ever-so-slight forward position but NOWHERE as pronounced as a true crotch rocket.

    I've heard Corbin makes a seat for it so that'll probably be my first upgrade since I want to turn this into an interstate commuter (no, big trucks don't 'blow you away')

    Don't get a scooter - a guy I met got the RADICAL Sachs MadAss 50cc and was PROUD to get "about 60mpg"!?!

    Get a Ninja 250 and you'll get BETTER and have more power when you need it. I promise you won't be disappointed!
